First nude photo book published in Vietnam 24/12/2007 (VietnamNet News)
The cover of Spring Time photo book
VietNamNet Bridge – HCM City Arts Publishing House released “Xuan thi” (Spring Time) today, a collection of 71 nude photos by Thai Phien. This is the first time Vietnam has published a nude photo book. First nude photo exhibition to come soon
The bilingual, Vietnam-English book is a collection of nude photos taken over the past 15 years by Thai Phien as well as 20 articles written by the photographer....
The book was released without a gaudy celebration or launching ceremony; instead appearing quietly, in the spirit of the photographer. Thai Phien is happy to publish his book but doesn’t hide his melancholy: “My passion for nude art urges me to venture, despite unexpected misfortune which can fall on my head anytime. I’m a follower and silent appreciator of the beauty of soul and body that the Creator grants to women. I’m a love-bird, who devotes himself to honoring that beauty…”
Spring Time is distributed by Fahasa and sells for VND170,000. It is now available at the HCM City Photographers’ Association bookshop at 122 Suong Nguyet Anh, District 1, HCM City and Dien Dam Gallery, 4B Dinh Liet, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi.
The Hanoi Department of Culture and Information licensed Thai Phien to organize a nude photo exhibition in late November 2007, which was then postponed to Jan 1 2008.
Thai Phien hasn’t yet received the Hanoi Department of Culture and Information’s extension license for a later show but says he will bring his photos to Hanoi late this December to wait for the license.
This is the first nude photo exhibition to be licensed in Hanoi, in fact, the whole country. Recently, the HCM City Department of Culture and Information refused to grant him a license, reasoning that nude photos are unsuitable to the customs and tradition of Vietnam. Nude photos have been sparsely displayed in exhibitions and sent to photo contests before but never win significant prizes.
Phien’s licensing is considered an artistic victory. (Source: VNE)
