H. Lan Thao Lam spent her time in residence working on new sculptures for Saxa Loquuntur, a mixed-media installation that re-creates Sigmund Freud’s prized collection of antiquities in order to foreground a story of displacement.

Lam was also part of the Auckland International Festival of Photography in New Zealand in 2016.
