Moi Tran employs research, theatre, text, sound, installation, video, and performance to examine theorisations on emotional intelligence, the politics of audition and encounters of witness in events of fugitive performativity. Her interests in communication and analogue encoding/decoding have produced experiments for imagining and performing alternative narratives in repositories of information. She collaborates with sound makers, dancers, actors, community-performers to reimagine conventional performance making. Tran is currently commissioned by the Wellcome Collection and will contribute to ‘By the Means at Hand’ a project by Vlatka Horvat for the Croatian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale – the 60th International Exhibition of Visual Art 2024 by invitation. She has presented and performed her work nationally and internationally, ‘Well Settled’ (LUX U.K & OutPost VN); ‘SLEEP’(Live Art Development Agency/Royal Court /Pushkin House); ‘Civic Sound Archive’ Solo show PEER (UK); ‘Reshaping the collectible’ Tate Modern (UK); Sign Chorus (Da Nang, Vietnam); ‘Sonic Signalling in Reverse’ (Gothenburg Biennale)’; ‘The Bolero Effect’ (VCCA Vietnam); ‘The Circuit’ (Prague Quadrennial Festival); ‘I love a broad margin to my life’ Solo show (Yeo Workshop, Singapore); Shy God Chapter Mot (Chisenhale)‘Shy God – A Chorus’ (SPILL Festival UK); Landing 1.2.3 (Mark Rothko Centre Latvia)
