BAMBOO ON STAGE
Language Barrier
Bamboo, paper ( sand paper if literally translated sha-zhi ), acrylic paint, glue 180x45x130cm This work is a moving sculpture with a motor and a motion sensor. The fact that the 36 mouths are behind the grid shows the inability to speak. They can move but not make sound. Thus, illustrating the experience of people suffering from the absence of the sense of hearing but also illustrating the ability to rely on the visual sense to read lips instead.

He was commissioned by an Indian-American theatre director, who is herself hearing impaired. Originally, Louis made the first piece as a double horn representing a speaker. It could also be divided in three parts, each designed as an individual costume. This work has been collected by the theatre director and is now in New York.

Hollywood movie 《 Dr Strange 》
The mini Qilin was originally created by Louis To Wun for his 3 year old son, who rode on his father’s shoulders dancing with the mini Qilin together with the big Qilin at the Bun Festival. It becomes the prototype for the four mini Qilins commissioned in 2016 for the Hong Kong Premiere of the Hollywood production Dr Strange. The two main cast actors, Tilda Swindon and Benedict Cumberbatch, Director Scott Derrickson, and Producer Kevin Feige performed a Qilin eye-opening ceremony on stage.
