Untitled 2015

This installation by Danh Vō uses found objects and suspended elements to create a floating, ethereal experience. I imagine Vō carefully selecting each object, considering its weight, texture, and history, and then, the delicate process of suspension. The flags, reconfigured and hanging alongside the tools, introduce a narrative that feels both familiar and fragmented. What does it mean to see these objects, once grounded in everyday use, now floating, untethered from their original purpose? It makes me think about how we assign value and meaning to objects, and how these meanings shift when placed in a new context. I see the artist's hand in the arrangement, a choreography of objects that speaks to the artist's story, but also invites us to reflect on our own histories.
