Made to Measure Magic Art Installation at Gaysorn Village in Bangkok [Thailand]

Art is a complicated subject and people have sometimes decipher it rather differently, resulting in polarizing views. A particular art installation at Gaysorn Village in Bangkok pulled me apart towards opposing ends.

Made to Measure Magic talks about perfect craftmanship that goes into making a bespoke gown, and with the gigantic measuring tape weaving in and out of fabric lampshades, the above segment did look elegantly beautiful.

I can't say the same for the other two segments; yes, they were still stunning but together with its beauty came a dreaded feeling that worsened as I got closer.

Lovers of horror movies would likely feel the same way.

With the missing tops, it did seem like the bride has lost her torso. You just need a few splashes of redness to fully imagine how horrifying that would have been in! It was an image that stuck to my mind; dozens of dead brides hung from the ceiling, without their heads, torsos and limbs. 

Curiosity made me looked up to the middle of the gown; no corset, no mannequin and just a simple bulb that let the gown radiate an eerie glow from within.
