another diorama by Hu Yun

‘another diorama’ by Hu Yun that weaves his Biennale project around world-making in dioramas and the historic conjectures of woodcarving as a populist medium in the region. Housed in the Archaeology Library, this project is Hu Yun’s dialogue with the interstices of object and image as he inquires into the limits and possibilities of collaborating with the work of other artists. These works and archives are by émigré artists who practiced woodcarving in Singapore between the 1970s and the 1990s. ‘another diorama’ infers the historiography on everyday cosmology incarnated by woodcarving. Conversing with the sherds in the Archaeology Library, Hu Yun’s installation confronts the making and unmaking of motifs and materials among the trade and cultural life in the region.
