There is a unique piece that is displayed in the Museum of Modern Art. Installation artist Song Dong has an interesting way of incorporating his past into his current art work. Installation art consists of three-dimensional works designed to transform the perception of a space. Installation art can stretch from mountain sides to vacant turbine facilities, which is the case in a London Museum. For Song Dong, although, it is a room in the MOMA that presents the events and almost everything possession he has ever known in his life.
When Dong was younger his father passed away which greatly affected the rest of his life. His mother felt that by keeping everything of his fathers that it would neglect the fact that the house would be so empty without him. She kept everything that they went through in their home and soon the fullness of the house provided security that was absent after his father died. Many years later Dong had the opportunity to display his mother's collection in an exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. This piece of installation art is truly incredible because it has hundreds of pieces that all contribute to Dong's past. It is incredible that he able to show his life off and let his parents know that he is doing okay all in a days work.
