ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The work "47 Days Without Sound" by Vietnamese artist Nguyen Trinh Thi is a film that explores the relationship between sound and silence, sight, language, color, and their absence. Nguyen Trinh Thi identifies "peripheries"—including the natural landscapes used as settings, unnamed characters, and soundtracks from American and Vietnamese films—that reveal perspectives beyond the human realm. Offering fresh ways of seeing and hearing, "47 Days Without Sound" invites viewers to reflect on the inseparable relationship between a place and its inhabitants.
