Quynh Dong
Quynh Dong (b. 1982, Vietnam) is a Swiss–Vietnamese artist who studied at the Bern University of the Arts and later at the Zurich University of the Arts. Working across video, performance, and installation, she constructs multimedia environments that playfully engage cultural stereotypes, fusing Eastern and Western iconographies into layered “hyperrealities” that oscillate between the poetic and the kitsch, the personal and social. Drawing on pop culture and commercial aesthetics, she stages sharp juxtapositions between nature and artificiality, authenticity and spectacle.
Quynh Dong’s works have been featured in numerous exhibitions and residencies such as The year is XXXX, Nguyễn Art Foundation, HCMC, Vietnam, 2025; Becoming Alice Through the mental tunnel, The Outpost, Hanoi, Vietnam, 2024; Zomia in the Cloud, the 3rd Thailand Biennale, Chiang Rai, Thailand, 2023; the 18th Asia NOW – Paris Asia Art Fair, Monnaie de Paris, Paris, France, 2022; Beyond Destruction, M.A.P 2019, Heritage Space, Hanoi, Vietnam, 2019; MMCA Residency Changdong, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, South Korea, 2015. Her publications include A Roadmap of Close Encounters, Southeast Asia Choreographers Network #4 e-book, 2022; Warm Revitalization, Gangwon Triennale, South Korea, 2021
