Htein Lin’s short film A Show of Hands (2017, 32:25 mins), edited by Pe Maung Sein, is a poignant story-telling work bubbling with vitality as former detainees recount their history to the artist. Sometimes meditative in pace as Htein Lin applies plaster of Paris to the ex-prisoners’ arms, candid, funny, and compassionate, the video carries an aura of care that shows the power of art. Installation and video, melding Htein Lin’s personal experience with that of others, are monuments to dignity, stamina and belief in humanity, compelling visually and philosophically.
