Discover how this exhibition redefines landscape photography, merging nature and digital age interactions through a vertical lens that mirrors smartphone screens, challenging traditional boundaries.

Each photograph captures the duality of nature—intimate yet distant, serene yet provocative—reflecting the diminishing natural spaces in our rapidly urbanizing world.

Experience the fusion of modern photography and urban scenery around Hoan Kiem Lake, where art seamlessly integrates with the city’s heartbeat.

Visitors are invited to shift focus from panoramic views to the intricate details, redefining the essence of landscape photography through depth and perspective.

While horizontal compositions evoke tranquility, vertical formats introduce intensity and constraint, inviting viewers to rethink spatial perception beyond traditional limits.

Illuminated vertical light boxes reflect on the lake’s surface, creating a luminous corridor that harmoniously blends art with Hanoi’s iconic cityscape.

These light boxes mimic smartphone screens, highlighting how technology both connects and distances us from nature in the modern era.

Beyond mere supports, the display structures symbolize the evolving relationship between humans and nature, serving as metaphors for our changing appreciation of the natural world.

Visitors engage deeply with the vertical images, experiencing a sense of immersion as the landscapes appear to cascade toward them, rather than merely being observed.

“Vertical Landscape” transcends traditional exhibitions, fostering meaningful dialogue between artists and audiences on contemporary ways of perceiving the world.

Curated by Ly Hoang Long and Mai Nguyen Anh, this exhibition features works by European artists and runs from November 7 to 23, offering a unique cultural experience.
