An interactive sculpture
The Moon is an interactive kinetic, sound, and cutout lightbox that offers a poignant and abstract interpretation of the Vietnamese folk story, Thằng Cuội. This artwork delves into innovative and experimental approaches to physical animation, all while preserving the profound aesthetic and poetic experience of longing for hometown and cultural roots.
Concept & Experience
The Moon invites viewers into a dynamic narrative, reimagining a cultural myth through a modern lens. The intricate interplay of rotate motion, lighting, evocative sound, and the delicate beauty of cutout layers creates a multi-sensory experience. The piece thoughtfully conveys the universal theme of nostalgia and the yearning for ancestral connections, making the abstract story of Thằng Cuội resonate deeply with audiences, regardless of their familiarity with the original tale. It's a journey into memory and identity, expressed through a blend of traditional storytelling and contemporary artistic techniques.
