A work by Gilbert Bertrand |
The exhibition showcases works by three French photographers: Daniel Roussel, Gilbert Bertrand, and Lily Franey.
"Viet Nam’s Intersection" was previously featured as part of the Photo Hanoi '25 International Photography Biennale at the French Embassy in Viet Nam. In Da Lat, the exhibition continues to offer the public diverse perspectives on Viet Nam, its land and people across different historical periods.
A major highlight of the exhibition is a collection of black-and-white photos by Gilbert Bertrand, taken between 1970 and 1975 during his service at the French Cultural Center in Da Lat and Saigon. Driven by a passion for photography, Bertrand captured poignant frames of Vietnamese daily life and people during a pivotal historical era. Many of these works are being publicly displayed for the first time, serving as invaluable visual historical records that help today’s public gain deeper insights into Viet Nam in wartime.

A work by Daniel Roussel on display at the exhibition |
Photographer Daniel Roussel contributes works created between 1980 and 1986. As a correspondent for the French daily newspaper L’Humanité, he documented everyday moments of the Vietnamese people. Through images of labor, production, and daily life, his photos reflect the vibrant resilience of a nation striving to overcome post-war hardships and rebuild step by step.
The works of Lily Franey, captured since 1987 during her field trips with the French Popular Relief (Secours Populaire Français) in Vietnam. Her humanistic photographs document a country reviving from the ruins of war through simple but hope-filled everyday moments, conveying the warmth, affection, and vitality of the Vietnamese people in their reconstruction and renewal cause.
The event is not only a confluence of three photographic perspectives, but also a flowing stream of memory, enabling viewers to visualize Viet Nam’s transformation from wartime to reconstruction and renewal periods. Through these displayed masterpieces, the exhibition preserves historical memories while fostering cultural exchange, artistic appreciation, and mutual understanding between the people of the two countries.
