Made from the artist’s family archive, digitally reworked

In Tropism, Consequences of a Displaced Memory, Nhu Xuan Hua goes into the power of recollection. The work gives a face to those tropisms that describe spontaneous, automatic reactions set off by strong emotions in response to past events. Working from her family's archive pictures, the digital intervention reads those memories anew, blurring, erasing and displacing the figures that carry them.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
