Le Nghi Teng

Kyra Ten Brink

In a world dominated by technology and the drive for progress, this duo presentation brings together the work of Le Nghi Teng and guest artist Kyra ten Brink. These women explore the connection with the self and the path that leads to it. Both their practices invite us to slow down, become still, and renew our attention to the inner landscape.

Opening Friday March 13th between 6 – 9 pm
Spoken Word performance at 7.30 pm

Le Nghi Teng’s work is rooted in Taoist philosophy and unfolds according to The Way of Water. The Tao serves as a guide: a path that is not mapped out, but reveals itself in moving with what presents itself.

Teng found in photography a visual language that has its origins in classical Chinese art and the principle of wu wei—acting without forcing.

Soft and formless, yet unstoppable in its movement, water adapts without losing its essence. That same quality can be found in Teng’s art: an organic process, from the first glance to the moment when ink and water merge on handmade paper.

The women in ten Brinks journey are at the center of the project Journeying Home and often exist in states of tension: between vulnerability and strength, between what is shown publicly and what remains private, and between social expectations and their own inner truths.

Here, the body is seen both as a space of negotiation and as a living archive — one shaped by power structures, yet continually capable of resistance, adaptation, and self-definition.
