The video output of the creative research project In Art As In Life (2018; RMIT Vietnam) focuses on the interrelation between gender, contemporary art and social relations by exploring histories, methods and expression of artists who address the experience of women in contemporary Vietnamese society. The project output of video documentary utilises feminist research methodologies in which knowledge production remains attentive to the specificity and uniqueness of women's lives, experience, location and voice (Hesse-Biber, 2012). 

The documentary form enables diverse forms of cognitive and sensory engagement providing the armature to ‘represent’ rather than “recite” voices and lived experiences of space and time. In relation to video-based research outputs and dissemination the research agrees with visual anthropologist David Mcdougall’s contention that visual research methods including video and film based interviews and recordings are different to writing as they communicate different kinds of knowledge and enable diverse forms of cognitive and sensory engagement (sight, sound) between readers/viewers and knowledge.
