Z1320AA marks the latest solo exhibition of Yangon-based artist Thu Myat, who has long worked at the intersections of urban culture, technology, and myth. Here, the artist turns his gaze upward—toward asteroids, orbits, and horoscopes—folding astronomy, astrology, and digital culture into a single speculative diagram.
At the heart of the exhibition lies a question: What does a civilization hold onto when the stars both frighten and explain it? For Thu Myat, who has studied astronomy enough to calculate trajectories and orbits himself, the asteroid is more than a mineral body. It is at once scientific fact and cultural omen, a mirror for personal reflection as much as a fragment of rock blasting through emptiness.
Through drawings, diagrams, installations, and text, Z1320AA navigates the fragile thresholds between precision and metaphor. It considers how celestial objects—named after gods and carried into memes—become survival diagrams for our age: a horoscope reel, a zodiac meme, a screenshot natal chart. Each is less doctrine than affective technology, translating uncertainty into signs, chaos into confession.
