Curated by Van Do, Phụ Lục Through Whose Eyes? dreams the collective’s resonant archive into being. Structured in three light-acts, the exhibition imagines a stage after the artists have departed, where objects, machines and residues carry the performance forward.

Dismantling the collective’s past works, the exhibition translates Phụ Lục’s props, sounds, compositions, and gestures into new assemblages, drawing on archival study, adaptation, and reproduction. Curating becomes an act of tracing, reinscription, and restaging, turning the impossibility of exhibiting performance art into a deliberate imaginative choice.

Performance exists in a moment, and dies when that moment ends. The exhibition takes place after death, remembering itself: full of gaps and ruptures, faltering in recollection, yet persistently alive. It is an effort to make visible what remains alive in the afterlife, dwelling in the generative void between original and revisit, and to reflect on performance in its historiographical force that is continuously layering, overwriting, and performing into the present.
