Description:

“The Wardrobe” is a story about the meaning of love and sentiments in our post-modern world. Inspired by Rene Magritte’s surrealistic approach to visual images, Mikhail Bakhtin’s writings on Dialogism, and Jean Baudrillard’s ideas on simulations, “The Wardrobe” evokes mysteries through poetic combination of ordi­nary objects. Its intent is to activate discussion of ideas and values of love by exploring these meanings on various levels. What is real love? “The Wardrobe” indicates that the meaning oflove and sentiment is elusive and fabricated.
