Tessa Bunney has a particular interest in different landscapes, exploring the way that they are shaped by human activity. Working closely with communities and individuals, Tessa’s work investigates human relationships to the landscape.

During the last decade Vietnam has undergone rapid national economic growth with many of its craft villages increasing production five fold through small-scale industrial development. As Vietnam moves towards urbanisation the country’s agricultural labour force faces the prospect of losing its land and its way of life to urban projects. The consequence of this shift is increased waste and environmental pollution. Made in Vietnam explores the current role of the craft village as a meeting point between rural and urban, agriculture and industry in the suburbs and villages around the capital city of Hanoi.
