Danh Vo

Otros datos de interés

Danh Vo (Vietnam, 1975) lives and works in Berlin. Vo's installations deftly intermingle autobiography with larger cultural narratives of migration, history, and identity. He allows poetic new connotations to emerge through the staging of meticulously selected images, objects, and documents. Finalist in the IX Hugo Boss Prize 2012.
