“In a carnival, everything is rendered ever-changing, playful and
undefined.” -Andrew Robinson on Bakhtin: Carnival (2011)
Perya is the appropriation of the carnival in the Philippine setting.
Inspired by the playful colors from the perya, I created a composition
integrating various images taken from Philippine culture - boxer
codex, ibong maya, mata ng agimat, masks. The images were juxtaposed in
a playful manner to create a game like layout with rules undefined.
This nameless game can be interpreted by the audience in any way that
they please. - avmagno
