Anh Nguyen’s statement about the exhibit, “This exhibit consists of photographs taken at the Floating market in Song Trang, Vietnam. This particular market is a famous attraction in Vietnam and draws in thousands of tourists yearly. There have been countless photographs taken here, with the purpose of promoting tourism or cultural bragging. However, this exhibit focuses on the real people making a living at the market, in the time of the year where there isn't a single tourist in sight. This exhibit aims to unromanticize the idea of the 'exotic' destination, by putting the spotlight on those who struggle to stay afloat.”
