What to expect

Filmic projection

This visual arts presentation will feature a filmic projection by Wayne Peng, among other works.

His work here displays a series of high-quality photos of human profiles juxtaposed with tree textures.

Here's a peek at part of the projection:

Tableaux wallpapers

For a blast into the past, check out the tableaux wallpapers curated by architect and artist Richard Hassell.

Digitally printed in large-format sheets of Japanese mulberry paper, the tableaux feature a series of drawings done in wallpaper size.

These drawings are Hassell's interpretation of the colonial house as well as the livelihoods of people in the past.

City structure installation

Visitors can also view the city structure installation done by graphic designer Kelley Cheng.

The installation is a complex of built-form models fabricated with plywood and paint colours.

Cheng encapsulates her thoughts on impending social issues through six different poems.

You can find these poems inscribed into the structures at the exhibit.
