These next images are from the Biennale early this fall in Lyon that I didn't get a chance to post. Wong Hoy Cheong who lives and works in Kuala Lumpur, came to live in Lyon to produce 'Staged' photographs using different ethnic peoples which represent what he considers the modern 'French Spirit' 'of a country finally able to acknowledge it's diversity'. To accept and give value to something that one has considered negative, is very difficult spirtual bench mark to achieve. Accepting the manifold messages of modern art fall into this same spiritual category.
