Arlette Quynh-Anh Tran is an artist and filmmaker based in Saigon. Her artworks blend politics and sci-fi aesthetics through assemblages of animation, 3D design, historical archives and architecture. Arlette is obsessed with the fantasy of a futuristic Third World utopia in which political ideals are remixed and human and non-human beings coexist and amalgamate. She creates a non-linear and absurd reading of modern histories that questions the dominant post-Cold War narratives about the Third World. Her practice has been featured at, among others, Lagos Biennial 2024, Albertinum Staatliche Kunstsammlungen, Dresden, Germany, Asia Culture Center, Gwangju, South Korea and the Centre Pompidou, Paris.
