Just Like Water

October 1, 2021"THE MECHANICS" takes its viewers into the world of Chinese craft workshops on the streets of Phnom Penh in painterly compositions . The public space becomes a workshop next to barber shops. Mekong-Ship engines are carefully and precisely overhauled by oil-smeared hands. Right next door barbers gently shave and cut hair and all of this in the middle of busy traffic. Neatly arranged Confucian altars create a private oasis juxtaposed in the chaotic hustle and bustle. All of this arranged and assembled as a musical collage. Congenial accentuated by the sound artist Makin Fung Bin Fai from Hong Kong. A gentle flow of a song, almost like a requiem to a changing world.
