Artist portrays her own life with others’ fingerprintsVietNamNet Bridge – Sitting between numerous fingerprints printed on Korean hanji paper, clothes and mica, artist Vu Bach Lien danced and moved to symbolise the motion of the universe. The performing art piece entitled In the Human Realm opened her solo exhibition Life yesterday at the Viet Nam Fine Arts Museum in Hanoi. Another highlight of the exhibition is They - A Part Of My Life (2m by 2m) which collects ten thousand fingerprints from people that she had met in her life, and arranges them to create her own portrait. That’s the reason why I find inspiration from people’s fingerprints and the exhibition Life is a part of my Life project.”Artist Lien was born in 1976 in Hanoi. Altogether now: They - A Part Of My Life (2m by 2m) combines ten thousand fingerprints of people artist Vu Bach Lien met in her life to create her own portrait.
