Anh-Phuong Nguyen (AP Nguyen) (b. 1999, Vietnam) is a multidisciplinary artist working between London and Hanoi. Her practice investigates the aesthetic and ideological constructions that shape the tourism and hospitality industry — from the clichés embedded in architecture and décor to the fantasy-laden miniatures and souvenirs created for foreign consumption. Through sculpture, installation, and moving image, she navigates the intersections of high and low art, the readymade object and the handcrafted, revealing how landscapes — both physical and imagined — are manufactured and consumed.

A significant strand of her work revisits "Hòn non bộ", the Vietnamese tradition of miniature landscape-making that compresses vast worlds into palm-sized terrains. Since first engaging with the practice during a 2021 residency in Vietnam at Manzi Art Space, Nguyen has approached Hòn non bộ as both a cultural inheritance and a conceptual tool. While traditional compositions once populated these crafted “island–mountain–sceneries” with ceramic figurines and pastoral narratives, Nguyen reimagines them using mass-produced travel artefacts — snow globes, miniature screens, plastic toys — materials that point to the global circuits of trade, travel and spectacle.
