| 520 | |a The exuberant, eclectic architecture of the Caodai Holy See in French Indochina was described as a "grotesque combination" of European and Asian elements by several famous writers and this sense of horror served to construct a notion of "visual blasphemy" which merged aesthetic and ethical elements. Architecture is always read and misread though a cultural lens. It has been argued that the colonial "world as staged" (Mitchell 1999) produced its own "reality-effects," so I argue that an anti-colonial counter project of large public works tied to an innovative Asian synthesis of world religions served not only to bolster the morale of a once downtrodden people but also to convince them of the historical inevitability of their triumph. Caodaism was a new religious movement followed by 3 million people in French Indochina and its daring and "presumptuous" architecture was a visual act of insurrection, an iconographic revolution designed to precede and prepare the way for the political revolution to follow. | ||
