ORGANIZERS
The camera’s shutter interrupts time, layering and blurring it. Shutterscape, a group exhibition proposed by Á Space and co-curated by Đặng Thùy Anh and Vân Đỗ, examines the entanglement of photography and performance: where photographs not only document but also stage and frame actions; where performance emerges as imprint, re-enactment, or landscape slice; and where photography moves beyond capturing the moment to act as fold, intervention, and reflection on reality. In these crossings, the boundary between “performance” and “image” unsettles—photographs perform, while performances leave their trace like photographs—together producing a shifting field where memory, body, and reality blur, overlap, and transform.
Moving beyond this documentary function, this exhibition explores ways in which the camera can engage with, intervene in, or respond to the making of performance, resulting in autonomous works that exist in dialogue with live performance rather than merely documenting it. In doing so, the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on how photography can reshape the experience of performance and open up new aesthetic possibilities, prompting us to consider what lies beyond the frame.
