A Ă Â… by Nguyen Huy An comprises the 29 alphabets of the Vietnamese language Quốc ngữ, each letter isolated and presented in its own frame. These letters were formerly part of propaganda slogans that had been painted onto walls in villages across the north of Vietnam. The artist extracted these letters by carefully slicing away the top layer of plaster that coated the wall, and in doing so, revealed a cross section of the wall that it came from and left a hole where the letter used to be. A result of the deliberate and invasive act of incising and extracting surfaces that had hosted the propaganda slogans of communist ideologies in the language created by the country’s past colonial rulers, the work carries the complexity of the literal and metaphorical layers of the country’s history.
