2012 – Seance: Ba oi, chau nho ba lam.

“Seance: Ba oi, chau nho ba lam”, Performance/ Mixed Media sculpture, 2012, Camilla Lundquist.

Documentations by Alexandra Larsson.

A sculpture/ performance piece from 2012 inspired by Vietnamese ancestor veneration traditions. A paper representation of Sleipnir, the 8 legged horse from Norse Mythology who could transcend between realms was burnt together with a personal letter and sent to my deceased grandmother in the afterlife. It is a Vietnamese Ancestor Veneration tradition to make colourful paper representations of everyday objects and burn them for the dead.
