DINING ROOM OPERA
Dining room Opera is a multimedia Installation, about the culture depression of Myanmar. As an eye witness between civil conflict, the art and the artists were depressed in the nightmares. This work searched artist's childhood memories of bedtime stories by his grandmother. A story about the puppets playing hide and seek in the emptiness of kitchen. That was kind of a nightmare after dinner called "rice-ghost".
Exhibition was hold in 2014 at
Rooster Gallery, New York, NY.
