conniving little bitch

oh i woke up so early today to go and see the biennale at the singapore museum. once again, everything was about 'belief'. there was this carpet with words woven on it. it was interesting. the words appeared to be chinese characters, but were really formed by assembling english letters together. we kept trying to read the english words to form sentences, but they simply didn't make any sense. mr chia says that maybe it really is a carpet meant to question your belief system, and it's simply playing a mind game with you.

we saw a japanese painting called 'harakiri schoolgirls', which i'm sure weiyang would definitely like to see. there was a video on last suppers, and there was a scene in a factory where they were slaughtering lambs. eew there was so much blood gushing out it was disgusting =( there was also a really disturbed painter who painted himself mutilated, and the body parts he cut out were all the wrong ones.

omg the ultimate artwork i saw today was some light thing. first, you'll walk into a very dark corridor, and then you finally reach this room that is completely dark, except for the thing in centre of the room. it was a tall structure mounted on a big platform, and it keeps on lighting up and becoming dim again. it wasn't very glaring, just soft lighting. it felt so much like the scene in 'finding nemo' where marlin and dory were both deep under the sea and were being enchanted by the light of an angler fish.

it's queer how everyone just seemed to walk straight towards the light in the centre of the room. mr chia said that the raised platform gives it a feeling of being a holy object. it was just so quiet in that room, maybe because everyone was too mesmerised by the light.

it was so enchanting to just sit there.
