Story
A nightingale in a bamboo cage
Neri and Hu's Emperor Suspended dates from 2009. It starts from a tale: an Asian emperor received a nightingale as a gift. The bird sang so beautifully that he always wanted it by his side, so he placed it in a majestic hand woven bamboo cage in the imperial chambers and listened, enchanted, to the magic sound.
