Arlette Quỳnh-Anh Trần is an artist based in Saigon. Working across moving image, installation, performance, sound, and constructed objects, she builds temporal laboratories in which abandoned futures become active again. Her work draws on political dreams, obsolete technologies, failed utopias, and unfinished Third World imaginaries, not to recover the past, but to examine how they continue to return as desire, attachment, and disturbance in the present.
She co-founded the Art Labor collective, which operates at the intersection of visual art, social and life sciences through long-term projects in diverse public contexts and locales.
