a: Contemporary art ~
b: trickster

What: "Tricksters depicted in ancient mythologies, legends, and literatures are beings that can physically live in two worlds simultaneously. They travel between heaven and earth, live the lives of young men and old men, and tolerate light and dark at the same time. They are great at surpassing boundaries. Contemporary art is like a trickster. It always leads the audiences to new directions to overturn traditional way of thinking. "
