Truc Truong creates work that examines the hidden structures of power, heritage, and authenticity, using unconventional materials to question how these forces shape cultural narratives and personal histories. Her practice, spanning assemblage, installation, and storytelling, is rooted in uncovering the layers of meaning within everyday objects, challenging ideas of value, ownership, and resilience in a world marked by histories of control and influence.

Truc’s art invites reflection on how individuals and communities inherit, adapt, and reimagine traditions amid contemporary pressures. Through her use of materials such as counterfeit products, pre-owned toys, and organic elements, she explores how systems of authority influence the way we perceive authenticity and belonging. Her installations serve as spaces for audiences to engage with stories that are both personal and collective, prompting critical thought on the forces that shape our shared experiences.

Truong graduated from the University of South Australia with a Bachelor of Art and Design (Honours) in 2022 and has since participated in programs including the ACE Studio Program in Adelaide and the Primavera exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. Her recent exhibitions include Gertrude Contemporary, Melbourne (2024); Casula Powerhouse, Sydney (2024); Post Office Projects, Adelaide (2023); 4A Centre for Contemporary Art, Sydney (2021); Nexus Arts, Adelaide (2021); and Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (2020).
