A unique highlight of the exhibition is the appearance of clock works, made using photo collage technique, representing each city and running according to the real time of that location - as a vivid symbol of the rhythm and flow of urban time.

The exhibition is considered a continuation and development of the idea of ​​the project “Hanoi – A city in photography” (2023). Through it, curator Nguyen The Son expressed his hope that the audience could connect with “their own place”, while expressing the vision of Hanoi as “a place of places” through the connecting power of photography.

Throughout November (from November 1 to 30), the Photo Hanoi International Photography Biennale '25' will bring more than 50 exhibitions and art events across Hanoi.
