An anatomy of sadness

From 15 November 2024 to 15 February 2025, Bui Cong Khanh and San Art invited the public to participate in an anatomy and reflection on questions illuminating his dreams. These extended reveries acknowledged abstract thoughts projected onto the body, dissecting flesh to reveal blood, heart, and parts that were once connected to the mother’s body.
