The Children Living Around Mekong River---Photography and Installation Exhibition in Shanghai

S http://www.topart.cn/cn/room /news.htm

Luo Yidan, a child living in Shanghai, spent his summer in Mekong River Valley with Mr. He Qing and Mr. Lin Wenfu from Cambodia last year and there he celebrated his 11th birthday. During his one-month journey along the Mekong River, he recorded the life of the children with his camera. The Children's Day is coming, so Room with A View
takes this chance to exhibit these special records by exhibiting installations.

Design & Arrangement of Installation: Ge Junwei

"In Angkor, I witnessed many children younger than me sell postcards to tourists in the hot sun. However, in the capital, Phnom Penh, I saw children play with their friends joyfully in the golden sun. My deepest impression came from a girl with big eyes and long hair laughing by Mekong River in the sunset. I believe, even her family
might be poor, she has a happy life. And it is all.

I stayed in Sihanouk for only one day but was impressed greatly. There I saw children from China, America and Cambodia holding the same huge buoy floating on the waves. A big wave came and wetted their faces and hair. They seemed not care and continued their float, talking about
their hometowns, their joy and sorrow...

Wish all of you a happy Children's Day!
Luo Yidan"
