Midday Stanza

This immersive art installation by Haffendi Anu incorporates numerous sculptures and objects that stem from the artist’s interest in landscapes and cityscapes. When installed in a gallery, Anuar’s artwork creates a condensed landscape using mock relics and totems, reflecting the artist’s thoughts on the current state of Malaysia. Anuar uses various methods of presenting the post-election results using materials and imageries that allude to the architecture, monuments, and progress of modernization. In this showcase, Anuar attempts to encapsulate and articulate the post-euphoria feeling of post-election results as the country experiences the first-time shift in shared value systems.
