Installation Art: Life after Death

Placed at the entrance to the galleries of the Asian Civilisations Museum, this work by Justin Lee transports visitors into a dream-like night scene.

Accompanying the special exhibition Terracotta Warriors: The First Emperor & His Legacy, this contemporary installation is on display from 08 Jun 2011 - 30 Oct 2011 @ Shaw Foundation Foyer, ACM Empress Place.


Stylish terracotta army flanked by graceful fairy-like maidens armed with modern technologies. This work blends Western pop art with traditional Eastern imagery, giving rise to a new reading of a work that is a mix of many cultures, and thus decidedly Singaporean.




The artist's playful use of color and light suggests that life after death might not be so bad after all.
