Isn’t it the question of everyone? Who I am and where are my roots? The French photographer Nhu Xuan Hua has the same question. She is on a journey through herself, and her heritage. Born 1989 in Belgium she knows only little about her family who left Vietnam right after the war. After leaving her parents’ home, she is looking for her heritage.

Isn’t it the same journey we are all on? Right after the end of the Cold War I bought an Interrail Ticket to explore my family in the eastern states like Slovakia or Croatia. I discovered a rich heritage spread over the whole Austrian und Hungarian Kingdom, with cousins in nearly every country. But I’m not at the end of my journey.

Zwei Wochen lang zeigte ich meine Masterarbeit "In Your Head" im Würzburger Rathaus. Trotz eingeschränkter Öffnungszeiten besuchten über 200 Menschen die Ausstellung. Alle, die es in der Zeit leider nicht geschafft haben, können sich hier die Bilder digital ansehen:

 

Und wer weiß, vielleicht gibt es demnächst ja die Möglichkeit, die Bilder in Berlin oder gar Paris zu sehen - die Verhandlungen laufen.

About me

Making the invisible visible is one of my principles as a photographer. I tell stories about people, their lives and their problems with quiet tones. As a trained journalist, I often mix reportage work and artistic photography.

In my work, I look behind the façade and address social, ecological and psychological issues. I make images with a strong aesthetic appeal, which also convey a message that encourages reflection and promotes social awareness.

Every photo tells a story, be it about diversity, equality, sustainability or other issues that I support passionately. My photos are meant to encourage people to think outside the box, challenge preconceptions and create a world where aesthetics and social awareness go hand in hand.
