The chandeliers are moving in like pendulums. Quite a sight to behold. Very interesting and pretty as well. I visited the National Museum yesterday, since i think i shud not waste my holidays slacking at home. Went to view 2 exhibitions which was temporary, Voom portraits and Doubleness. Voom portraits are a collection of life videos which if you never notice would be a portrait, but the are live movements and with the music accompaniments, tells of individual stories. Captivating. While doubleness is a collection of photographs and videos by chang chien chi, a taiwanese photog. Three thematic collections can be found, one about asian men going to vietnam for brokered marriages, another about the mental patients chained together at a healing centre in taiwan called Long Fa Tang. A third about a chinese men who go to new york illegally to work and are separated from their loved ones. Touching, moving, each with a unique story to tell. Each picture really tells a thousand words. I would definitely go back to the museum soon to explore more. Any one keen to join me in my next trip?
when night falls, I wake up, to a world of fantasy and wild imaginations. welcome to my world.
