Tsai Ming-Liang, one of today's most significant auteur directors, presents an award-winning film that uniquely portrays survival on the streets of Taipei. On the city's outskirts, a father works a temporary job carrying advertising billboards through the streets, while his children spend their days roaming instead of attending school. The film adopts a minimalist approach to depict the daily life of this family, exposing the harshness of city life for the dispossessed. In the film, the city almost acts as a character in its own right, where we witness how lost and neglected the characters feel amidst Taipei's relentless rains and dilapidated buildings on the verge of urban decay.

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
