IMAF 2022 - To K Du - "Hindsight"
About IMAF festival:
International Multimedial Art Festival – IMAF is an annual event dedicated to performance art. International Festival of Multimedial Arts – IMAF has created a context in which different artists of various nationalities and age come together and, through their individual work, create a variety of research and suggestions on the medium of body and performance. As such, IMAF is not merely a festival, but a place where new ideas and conditions of performance, in the broader sense of art, become evolutionarily classified and researched. This makes it progressive and proactive, a space focused solely on developing new thoughts and ideas.

To K Du (aka Quyen D.

Her artistic practice deals with space, time, sound, psycho-physiology, dreams, imagination and elements of nature.
