DIALOGUE WITH DINH CONG DAT
How do you describe yourself?
Well, people have described it for me: Dat is `crazy`.
Creating work subjectively or creating work for a commissioned project, which is more difficult?
No one is more difficult than the other, each is both difficult and easy because the core question is that before doing the work, have you finished the theory part?
What is your greatest pleasure?
Tourism
Does music, cinema… have an impact on your creative work?
Have.
Have you ever sat in the audience to watch a program that you `had a hand in`?
Are not.
People say your art is Pop-Art, what do you think?
So that’s probably it (laughs).
How long was your longest period of being stuck and unable to compose?
Very good 1 month.
Do you have an artistic statement?
I just think that art should be made in a way that everyone can understand and like.
