"my little playground" exhibition

Period: 26 Nov 2010 to 12 Dec 2010

Venue: Victoria Prison, Old Bailey Street, Central

cowrice is one of the featured designer at deTour deX exhibition at Victoria Prison.

project statement: Our idea started from the simple thought of creating a white playground for our 3-year-old little girl that signifies innocence and purity. It all happens in this place of sin, where each person lives in guilt – the prison.

By visualizing the contradictory scene, the ambiguity between right and wrong in adult and children’s world is revealed – How is it guilt? How is it purity? Rethinking how we learn, face, and hide from the stereotyped terms of honesty, right and wrong, mistakes…and at the end of the day, is this reflection of one’s inside self or is it a behavior responding to our world?

Our daughter, at the age of three, is going through the learning process of knowing what is the right and wrong behavior and developing the skills to adopt the correct values from her mom and dad. We, as typical parents, trying hard to teach her, rethink about ourselves, and then learn from her. The process is interactive and yet, contradictory. White, hello kitty, little bunny, pink, playground, kids, animals, floral dress, “kawaii” - Do they stand for purity? Are they guilt-free?

Cowrice will be building their little playground through illustrations, photography, videos, hand- made dolls, words, decorative art, workshop…to express the ambiguity notion on “guilty and innocent“, “right and wrong”. They are expressing their feelings that is so real but barely noticed, pure but complex, adorable but dark.
