Tien An Trinh is a member of the local community gardens, a hub in east Oslo consisting of a large greenhouse and allotments. Trinh grows his own plants and vegetables there. In this observation by Iliana Papadimitriou, an MA student at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, we meet Trinh in the wake of the local Haugerud-Trosterud festival, for which he supplied a large-scale fruit sculpture. Papadimitriou and Trinh meet on a Saturday afternoon on the second floor of an indoor community centre, booked solely for Trinh, so that he can demonstrate his skills in making exquisite ornamental fruit displays.
