MN is a Vietnamese-Russian interdisciplinary artist with a focus on sound performance and diasporic making. She gathers speech fragments, urban recordings, body movements, migratory routes, sounds imitating nature sounds, and videos of daily life into open-ended works. These often take the shape of performance lecture, sound installation, movement, and video.
LIMBO explores such material as bone, limb, organ, abortion, personhood, mortality, and grief, through use of silhouettes, shadows, and ultrasound images.
One hand films the other hand creating shadows. The body is thus mediated by a distance between unseen source (real hand) and seen image (shadow of hand). In this distance is grief. In this distance is embodied reflection. In this distance is feminist hauntology.
