i searched high and low for the singapore art show 2009 video where various artists were interviewed on what art means to them.

i first caught it at shaw theatre. i thought it was hilarious and what the last artist said left an impression on me but i couldn’t remember what he said after the movie ended.

it was still an impression! just that my memory sucks.

i finally found the video on youtube but it is the full version – 10 minutes of it – and i waited forever to find the line that left an impression.

i’m so glad i found it.

funny, when i first heard it in the theatre, i was really wowed. now that i have searched high and low and waited 10 minutes for that one liner, i am not as wowed.

i guess the frustration kinda killed the wowed factor. haha. still, i am glad i found it!

but still, here is what visual artist, robert zhao ren hui said in the video:

“to me, art is basically helping me make sense of the world.”
