Gunitain

Gunitain, 2008
Prose Gallery
Makati City, Manila

11,500 individually folded paper boxes hewn from discarded books form an installation which explores personal and social memory, the co-construction of thought, and the artist’s commentary on identity as co-created both willingly and unwillingly in a world of relentless viewership.

The installation featured various objects placed in the paper boxes and invited viewers to both take, and leave behind personal objects as a metaphor to conscious and subconscious (unwilling) memory making.
