Tun Win Aung and Wah Nu, More Pieces of White
Tun Win Aung (b. 1975) and Wah Nu (b. 1977) are a husband-and-wife artist team based in Yangon, Myanmar. Curated by Louis Ho, their expansive multi-component work “Thousand Pieces of White” (begun 2009) reflects on 30 years of personal experience. They have brought together an archive of objects, images, printed matter, and film footage, all on the subject of memory, with each artifact displayed partially concealed beneath a layer of white. Underscoring the way in which memory’s ephemerality works, paradoxically, to enhance its significance, this equalizing veneer also conveys the gradual decay and erasure of links to the past. The fragments that remain visible offer glimpses of public and personal histories, revealing elements of Myanmar’s social, political, and cultural narrative.
