Abstract

Zulkifli is a world class artist who can create social criticism art based on culture, education and economical stagnancy. “Don’t Play During Maghrib, Dialogue Series 2” (DPDM) is an exceptional artwork which represented him at the Venice Biennale in 1997. There is no written research about this artwork and also there are very limited references and materials on Malaysian installation art. This led the researcher to embark on this topic as a dissertation. Since, this research focuses on the installation artwork, it is appropriate to explore and study Zulkifli Yusoff’s artwork. It is qualitative research which aims at exploring the art elements and principles of his work that leads to the understanding of his style in depicting DPDM. It is also aims at understanding the social commentary according to Zulkifli’s personal views and experiences. Mead’s “Social Interactionism” approach will be used in analyzing DPDM. It is hoped that this thesis will reflect his thoughts and interpretation about Malay culture and Malaysian identity.
