The VTV3 programme “Thời gian ơi, kể chuyện!”, in its episode “Và hoa sẽ nở”, invites Rei Nguyen and other artists to talk about flowers in life and art.
The guests speak of flowers in painting, photography, poetry and music. Rei talks about the art of scent: how it reaches feeling directly and brings back memories that words struggle to hold. She explains choosing flowers such as narcissus, jasmine and osmanthus for her compositions. In the studio, the guests and presenters smell the scents together.
