Lê Đình Chung
biography
Born in 1990, Lâm Đồng, currently lives and works in Đắk Nông, Vietnam, Lê Đình Chung (aka. Lê Đ.Chunh) graduated from Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts University in 2015. Working across painting, installation, sculpture, video, and performance, Chung’s multidisciplinary practice engages with both everyday realities and layered historical narratives.
Rooted in the Central Highlands (formerly designated as “New Economic Zones” during the post-war renovation era), where he was born and spent his childhood, Lê Đ.Chunh’s practice has long been shaped by the region’s spiritual culture, oral traditions, micro-histories, and its rapid transformation under exploitation.
He explores shifting social and political landscapes through the lens of personal memory. His work unfolds within this terrain of tension—between remembrance and erasure, resilience and rupture—as well as navigates contradictions and the complexities of ongoing reality, along with the enigmatic descent of unresolved motifs and meanings from the past.
