pov (2025)
“I love the internet
What you see is what you want.
Anything you want, I become.
I can be a teacher,
I can be an artist,
Also, I’m a stripper.”
Online dating is an act of mutual curation of each other’s biography, through facts and fantasies combined. Every time I go on a date is one more time my profile is re-written.
“dance, sex, art, pop”: pov is a series of candid confessions into the life of Nhan—performed through multiple personas, but mostly as a lover. Taking the format of a non-linear, choose-your-own-adventure video game, Nhan lets the audiences take control of the date and of himself. Would you go with Nhan all the way to the end of love or would you degrade him to despair and submissiveness? Everything is up to your control.
