The Duality Of Contemporary Art?
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. "

They Both Like Fish
a: The human mind ~
b: a cat
What: "The human mind is like a cat. It is a creature of habit and a connoisseur of comfort. It changes, but its change is patterned. I have watched a number of cats get into a set routine, a preferred napping spot, etc. Then someone forgets to leave a door open etc, and they do something else. This something else naturally becomes their new routine. "
