The works draw an unlikely dialogue between Japanese director Shuji Terayama’s 1977 short film \"Reading Machine\" and the Kuthodaw Pagoda, a Buddhist architectural complex built in 1868 in Mandalay, Burma. The seven prints unfold as seven chapters of a book, weaving together the tangled conditions behind the meaning and making of the pagoda, the enigma of Terayama’s mind, the materiality of printmaking, and the cyclicality of history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alson Zhao","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58410858971518,"sku":null,"price":837.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/6545\/8814\/files\/PageB.jpg?v=1794053875"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/6545\/8814\/collections\/Aristeidis_Lappas_a9ed624b-1129-4fdf-b89b-7d44ae4a39fc.png?v=1794053535","url":"https:\/\/hyphacurates.com\/collections\/alson-zhao.oembed","provider":"Hypha Curates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
