my pretty wan, who refuses to let me take a decent shot of her.
We had gone to haw par village.
the photo is dated far back into the past, though post-As, but ive only put it here today because i hate uploading photos.
...and i only upload it despite not liking it, because i want to brag about this cool outing with the cool girl. She had taken this photo when we were at the Amanda Heng exhibition! This is one of Heng's installations. it's about missing girls from India and the likes. Her core message is to bring awareness to gender discrimination. All the little dresses represent the girls who should have been born. Many are aborted.
I like how the place looks, and the eery feeling in the room (i have a photo of it but i really cant stand uploading stuff onto blogger. blogger, Y U NO USER-FRIENDLY.
I do, however, think her installation had been too literal. Of course, since it was to bring greater awareness of the sex issue to the public, that works to her advantage, but as an artistic expression, i would have appreciated more insight. i know i'm not one to critique since i'm no good myself la, but one can have opinions right..?*wry smile*
there are so many photos in my phone. should i put them on facebook? i want to go into detailed descriptions though....
maybe i'll still "blogger-them". when i;m free.
i'm off to look effortless! (for real, now)
P.S. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOW I CAN GO TO THESE AMAZING PLACES WITH WANYING!
