During the residency, Phyoe Kyi intends to develop an interactive multimedia installation. The project—which subtly pays homage to the artist’s mother, a recurrent subject in his work— entails both the conceptualization and the rendering of a virtual museum showcasing a selection of artworks that are of special significance to the artist himself. He aims to finalize the architectural plan of the museum as well as to gather video and audio files for his idiosyncratic collection. Concurrently, Phyoe Kyi will also expand the scope of The White Cloth, a project started in 2014 that explores the layered symbolical imagery of white cloth and its social, political, and cultural significance in Burmese culture and language.
