Synopsis
Before and After the Unknown is a multimedia exhibition by Mark Chua and Lam Li Shuen, set within a speculative fiction universe of Temasek island in the 11th century.
Our existence is an island in time, always before and after the unknown. What selves might we find, in the performance of a fictive past?
Past, present and future collide in a fantasy of materialities and histories. Between expanded cinema, a video game and sculptural fictions, the exhibition presents pieces of a deconstructed myth. It draws from the lost fragments of the land’s early history - their traces in both the bodily and the botanical - and the unknown possibilities of our future trajectories.
