Le Brothers (LE NGOC Thanh & LE DUC Hai) Le Brothers were born in Quang Binh in the northern part of Vietnam in 1975. After the reunification of Vietnam in 1975 under communist rule, the brothers moved to Hue, Vietnam’s ancient capital, in the southern part of Vietnam. Torn by the consciousness of their dual southern and northern identity, Le Brothers have developed their artistic practice based on engaging performances and video documentations that comment on the social and political challenges of developing Vietnam. Mirroring each other in most of their works, for Le Brothers are identical twins, the brothers use their physical attributes to mirror the condition of Vietnam as a country scarred by division and reconciliation.
Notable nationally and internationally projects include : The return project in viet nam and Germany (2024), The B3 biennale in Frankfurt (2023), The Nord gallerie in Berlin (2018), Vietnam Eye in START at Saatchi Gallery in London (2017) The Jim Thompson Art Center in Bangkok (2016), Gwangju Museum of Art (2016), Kumamoto Contemporary Art Museum in Japan (2015),The Live Performance Biennale 2015 in Canada, Palais de Tokyo in Paris (2015), Queens Museum (2015), the Croatian Association of Visual Artists in Zagreb (2015), Iran CP Biennale (2014), FreeS Art Space in Taipei, Taiwan (2014), Singapore Biennale (2013), Selected projects include ‘The Bridge II’, performance at DMZ Gang Hwa, Korea (2012),‘Before ‘86’, Cheongju Complex Cultural Center, Korea (2012.
Their works are in numerous national and international private and museums’ collections, including the Singapore Contemporary Art, Museum Gwangju Museum of Art and The Jim Thompson Art Center, Hue Art Museum.
