The exhibition included a new opera, as well as the artist’s several major works, the exhibition explored themes of migration, oppression and utopia. The exhibition was so captivating, affecting and engaging I ended up staying in the space until closing time.
本展展出肯特里奇全新的劇作作品以及數件代表作,聚焦移民、壓迫和烏托邦等主題。展覽實在非常迷人,使我沉浸其中並深受感召,直到閉館仍不捨離開。

雖然《Tree of Codes》於2010年便已問世,但我直到最近才終於有機會閱讀收藏。本書每頁都採取截然不同的裁形/刀模設計,使其不僅成為一件極具雕塑性的物件,亦是有著精湛敘事手法的作品。
