Description

By creating new context for a saying by people from the Central Highland, which was extracted from the book "Souls and Dreams" (in the series "Fantasy Land - The Mountain Peoples of Southern Indochina”) by Jacques Doumes translated by Nguyên Ngọc; Trương Công Tùng playfully raises the question of the visible and invisible. The line reads: "I have heard people say: "My eyes deceive, I forget, I don't know how to see the real thing" which represents the cosmological understanding of Central Highlanders on the transcendence of the soul through different material lives. The words appear obscurely on the window, submerging with the outside landscape; blending in with the streets, bushes, cars and buildings.
The work is permanently displayed in The Outpost's space, considered as a witness of a constantly changing urban city.
