BODY IS LAND
BODY IS LAND is a multidisciplinary solo exhibition by Vietnamese-American artist hamsa fae, presenting a constellation of photography, moving-image installation, and sculptural interventions emerging from her time-based eco-performances. The exhibition positions the body as both archive and interface, framing transfemininity as a site of ecological remembrance and diasporic re-mythmaking.
Working across geographies—from California to the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi—the artist engages land and the internet as co-performers. Her practice examines how bodies are mediated and rendered hypervisible within colonial and algorithmic systems. How can rituals of rest, pleasure, and erotic sovereignty act as counter-histories to performance art’s legacy of endurance and self-sacrifice?
Opening Reception is in collaboration with Cash Machine and Bad Asians from the Center for Race & Gender at UC Berkeley.
