Vestiges: Tracing Urban-nature

Garden State Palimpsest explores Singapore’s constantly changing landscape and its residents’ relationship with the land. The artist carried out interviews with previous kampong dwellers that become a starting point to reconstruct memories as images. These imaginings of nature in their various modes of presentation—as sculptural photographic images, videos and

narratives—are complex layers of encounter that probes at ideals, nostalgia and desires with regards to our lived environments.

 

This series of artworks is part of a collection of works made in collaboration with artist, Zen Teh.
