I went to the UBS art exhibit at The Mori Art Museum yesterday. It was a nice exhibit spanning about 60 years of art around various themes and mediums. One of the most inspiring pieces, was that by Cao Fei . The piece is called "Whose Utopia?" The video is 3 parts. The first part documents the manufacturing of light bulbs. The second part documents the workers. And the third part shows some of the workers living out their dreams inside the factory. We see some people dancing and playing the guitar during working hours.
We live in a world of consumption, where goods are made all around the world. These goods are made by people, yet when would you ever think that someone who dreamed of being a dancer helped make the light bulb in your ceiling?
