The Unburied Sounds of a Troubled Horizon (2022)follows a woman named Nguyet and her mother, who run a small junkyard on the outskirts of Quang Tri. Nguyet compulsively crafts delicate hanging mobiles from the bomb scraps she salvages. Nguyet finds in her work an affinity with the works of Alexander Calder that she discovers through back issues or recycled issues of Art Forum.
