Photograph of a detail of Roberto Chabet's Dreams: 100 Years. The work, together with The Four Directions, is part of an extended diptych and were exhibited simultaneously at West Gallery and Finale Art Gallery, SM Megamall from 29 March - 9 April 1999.
Dreams: 100 Years at West Gallery is a space-specific installation that anthologizes images and objects (alphabet blocks, snare drums, crowbar, conch shell, and a painting based on a photograph of Joseph Cornell's shelves) used in the artist's earlier series titled The Interpretation of Dreams (1995).
The Four Directions at Finale Art Gallery is a large-scale, four-panel, heavily painted work in-laid with harmonicas. The work is inspired by an Allen Ginsberg poem titled 'On Cremation of Chogyam Trungpa, Vidyadhara.' The four colours used in the paintings - yellow, white, green, and red - are based on the colours of the Tibetan flag.
