It was a delightful letter from you, Mr. Ray Harryhausen, thanking me for my “enthusiastic and kind letter” delivered to you while in Los Angeles. I couldn’t believe. That letter is a precious treasure that I kept framed for so many years, like my dream of doing animation. Now, after I finally decided to take action and invest my future in animation by doing a PhD research on it, that letter travelled with me to remember me constantly why am I here.

“The gallery of the lost art is an online exhibition that tells the stories of artworks that have disappeared. Destroyed, stolen, discarded, rejected, erased, ephemeral - some of the most significant artworks of the last 100 years have been lost and can no longer be seen.”
We still have 232 days to see that temporary online exhibition.
Volumes with Flock, 2012. 7.5 x 6.75 in., 500 pages, softbound digital-offset printed book and 39-second video. The books and video are intended to be viewed together. The two books in the video are different copies of the same book, paged through at different speeds.
