Olivia Marty, also known as O, is a French/South-African contemporary artist and architect who lives and works in Saigon, Vietnam. Olivia graduated from the Faculty of Architecture of Versailles (France) and qualified as a French Architecte DPLG in 2004. Her thesis looked at the development of the Asian metropolis and had involved a yearlong project on The Rehabilitation and Space Planning of the Makkasan Slums in Bangkok. She started her architecture career in Paris, and relocated to Vietnam in the summer of 2004. Her photography project ‘recOllection’ started in 2010 as a pictorial study on new interpretation of the photographic space. She has developed her own technique, superimposing layers of old photographic material projected on various urban surfaces and re-captured through the lens.
