The 3rd edition of PHOTOQUAI biennial exhibition of world images organised by the musée du Quai Branly in Paris takes place on the quays of the Seine alongside the musée du quai Branly and in the museum’ gardens from 13th September to 4th December 2011.

Three Malaysian photographers (Minstrel Kuik, Khee Teik Pang, Tan Chee Hon) are selected after having encountered with the Curator Françoise Huguier in Kuala Lumpur early this year.

Below is the complete selection that I have proposed to Photoquai. The choice of diptych was originally not a formal consideration but to provide the audience a more complete narrative by showing more images extracted from the series "mer.rily, mer.rily, mer.rily, mer.rily" that I have been working on since 2007.
