Pass by the city ” is a personal project from early 2017 that I am currently working on. My intention is to spend 2 years taking photos of Saigon – the city where I grew up and where I am living. Saigon is a cultural diversified city, which combines of different factors like tradition, custom, language, religion, cuisine, costume but does not affect the distinct cultural identity of each community it surrounds. The project focuses on the loneliness of the people within the city of different classes, accommodations, people who I happen to meet on the street. Throughout the album are people whose faces are unclear, they can be anyone of us. This project is simply a personal experience for me to get a better understanding about the city I live and through which find my own self.
About Dang Nguyen
I’m Robins Mathew. Currently, I’m a student at MICA, Ahmedabad pursuing Crafting Creative Communication. I worked as an Aerospace design engineer at Infosys, Mysore for 4 years.
Having drawn inspiration from living in 4 different places which have completely complementary cultures, my fascination for cultures follows me as an insatiable thirst to appease which I travel. I love to travel (especially on my Beloved Royal Enfield) and meet new people, learn new perspectives and most importantly to frame these moments. Through these frames, I wish to accentuate the emotions behind these simple stories and translate it to the viewer.
Movies have always been my biggest source of inspiration, the ones with extraordinary stories in which the nuances in the spectrum of human emotions are told with sheer vibrancy. To be able to do that is the dream that fuels me to thrust forward.
