Liew Kung Yu

 

 

Installation detail

The image on the floor is of one of the Demon King Rawana, the two-headed Kelantan version of a traditional character from Wayang Kulit (shadow puppet theatre), a greedy but (in some versions) good villain - who loves showing off, according to the artist. The basis for this character is Ravana, one of the protagonists in the epic Sanskrit literary work, the Ramayana.
