To reach another part
of downtown Saigon and by doing so, also to see the city on the water
bus. My cousin calculated where we
should get off so we can have the best view. However, by the time we got there, it was
not really what we expected. Somehow, the taxi driver took us to a nice resort for lunch and we ended up visiting a gallery nearby. Here are the photos taken on the water bus and couple of pieces in the gallery from the art exhibit called “Necessary
Fictions”
Here is the description for the work: The
circumference of the exhibition tells a tale of Narcissus who falls in love
with the mask he wears to the world. He
is re-birthed as a daffodil and soon re-populated the land. This is a land
whose sense of rationality reigns supreme (though slightly askew), whose
purpose is mapped for you to decipher, with its towers and fortresses and
doorways providing curious order for its people. Beyond, nature watches, as human desire
struggles beneath its destructive renewal, the daffodil eventually consumed by
its descendants, again.
