” It is meant says a museum brochure “as a metaphorical testament to the daily hardships of the Vietnamese people. ” The pedicabs symbolize “Vietnam’s historical past in the context of the country’s struggle with the processes of modernization. ” Two shiny new cyclos as the pedicabs are called in Vietnam are parked outside the video gallery. They were designed by the artist but to a viewer unacquainted with these vehicles it is not evident how they differ from standard models. After the cyclo drivers in Mr. Nguyen-Hatsushiba’s film have swum away the underwater camera slowly pans over algae-covered rocks and approaches a strange sort of encampment. White rectangular mosquito-net tents set up among rocky masses give a ghostly abandoned impression.

This layering of studio and street — of macho yet ghostly half-meant bravura painting and lax abstract graffiti — has an undeniable liveliness. The primary energy comes from the lines which vary in thickness and suggestion (roadmaps cursive writing) and are often fringed with drips that defy gravity.
