Thu-Van Tran (* 1979 in Ho Chi Minh City) lives and works in Paris. Her impressive oeuvre draws connections between the political entanglements of nations and colonial legacies – traces of which remain inscribed and visible in many places, in language, bodies, and landscapes. At the KINDL, the artist presents her most recent works – some made specifically for this exhibition – which address the ecological and traumatic consequences of colonialism in Vietnam and Australia, and their resonances in Europe. Working across a range of media – including ceramics, painting, and drawing – she continues her reflection on these conflict-scarred lands and the memory inscribed within them. Write As Beasts Scream at Night invokes the mystical forces of nature that quietly but persistently rebel against the wounds inflicted by human hands.

Curators: Kathrin Becker, Magdalena Mai
