AP Nguyen
AP Nguyen is an interdisciplinary artist based in London whose work explores the clichés of tourism and postmodern travel. Through playful installations using sculpture and video, Nguyen creates miniature landscapes that unravel the narratives of desire undergirding souvenir objects and the construction of fantasy worlds for foreign consumption.
