upon skin, upon stone

2020

upon skin, upon stone is a video performance collaboration between Antonius-Tin Bui and Theresa-Xuan Bui. Responding to various Vietnam Veterans Memorials on the East Coast, Theresa and Antonius complicate our understanding of the Vietnamese diaspora through intuitive movement and poetry. Oscillating between intense stillness and chaos, they explore the phenomena of reverb as a metaphor for assimilation. Beginning with references to their traditional Vietnamese-Catholic upbringing, their movements echo glimpses of Asian-American futurism.
