Realized by Nguyen Quoc Thanh & Suza Husse with Truong Que Chi and Quynh Dong, this meticulously designed zine contains assembled letters, graphic interventions, layered video stills as well as the situationist “How to return to gold” performance script by Quynh Dong, Phan Dong Thai and Nguyen Quoc Thanh from June 2023 (pp. 03-04).
