The full set of 600 b/w digital images will be reproduced and exhibited in each city simultaneously in June 2005.
Manila, Saigon takes advantage of cyberspace as a virtual and democratic space, allowing
artists to connect via the Net with the least possible resources. This project involves individuals, not nations; restaurant/cafe galleries, not super-museums; the production and circulation of social and cultural values, not economic capital.
It does not define places and spaces as simplistic notions of the local and the international, the centre and the periphery.
<>All cities are local. All cities are international.
