Taken with seeming disinterest, these photographs display a lacklustre attempt at capturing matters that are victims of the fast evolving landscape in Singapore.
A block of flats scheduled for re-development, two lanterns hanging outside a relocated shop front, a sand hill from the local authority’s sand supply and a stack of huge concrete blocks. Each tells a story of change that cannot be halted; of progress that we have since taken in our stride. These subjects are so much an everyday part of our lives that they are often forgotten even before they disappear. The treatment of the matter highlights the intention to disassociate and re-associate oneself from the environment and vice versa, and in the process, reflects the significance of looking at the “small things in life”.
