Naga-Carpet, Small altars are not only found in the temples of Agkor Wat, but pop up everywhere in the streetscape, in personal homes, restaurants and other unexpected places in Phnom Penh. They are there to commemorate the ancestors and – despite poverty – testify to an abundance of food and personal wealth, since there is always something left for the gods. From these sculpturally interesting objects the idea for a fictive „meditation carpet“ emerged for the exhibition in Berlin.
