“A Film That Makes Us More Human. Photojournalist Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s profound portrait of humanity.” – The Epoch Times
HUMAN is a collection of stories and images of our world, offering an immersion to the core of what it means to be human. Through these stories full of love and happiness, as well as hatred and violence, HUMAN brings us face to face with the Other, making us reflect on our lives. From stories of everyday experiences to accounts of the most unbelievable lives, these poignant encounters share a rare sincerity and underline who we are – our darker side, but also what is most noble in us, and what is universal. Our Earth is shown at its most sublime through never-before-seen aerial images accompanied by soaring music, resulting in an ode to the beauty of the world, providing a moment to draw breath and for introspection.
HUMAN is a politically engaged work which allows us to embrace the human condition and to reflect on the meaning of our existence.

Book Introduction: “Photography in Southeast Asia: A Survey”
Heritage Space is pleased to invite you to the introduction of the book “Photography in Southeast Asia: A Survey” (NUS Press, 2016; 2nd print 2017), with a presentation by author Zhuang Wubin. The book tracks the evolution of photographic practices in ten countries across the region.
The narratives begin at the age of colonialism and segue to the contemporary period. The book has taken Zhuang Wubin over ten years to complete, drawing largely from the oral interviews that he has conducted with photographers, artists, curators and academics during his fieldwork. It tracks the evolution of art photography, photojournalism, conceptual art and news photography over the decades. It also looks at the ways in which photography intersects with politics, religion and culture, amongst others.
In this talk, Zhuang will narrate the evolution of photography in Southeast Asia as a way to peer into the complexities of the region. He also hopes to use the talk to have an informal discussion with the audience regarding the place of Vietnamese photography in its fine art tradition and within the region.
