Louie Cordero next to a statue. Louie is on the right. Or was it vice versa?
There is an urban legend in the Philippines, said that there was once (or maybe there were many times) a man who was singing" My Way "by Frank Sinatra at karaoke. Rather than sing, the gutting was thoroughly, with a dull razor. Another of those present could not stand it how smashed a beautiful song. He pulled out a pistol and four bullets hit him. I, the judge would have acquitted.
Knowing how passionate they are Filipinos and their love of firearms, the story might even be real. The only thing is I do not block the tune filipino. They have very good hearing. Perhaps he was so drunk that you leave only roosters instead of eighth.
filipino artist Louie Cordero was inspired by this story / urban legend for installation "My We", which was presented at the Singapore Biennale 2011.
The result of his work can only be classified as "kitsch" in its variety cachondona. I do not want to write more on installing, because nothing he wrote could be more fun than the work of Lamb.
