Synopsis
Drawing on this Singaporean extensive archive, Singkarpor REMIXED is an immersive art installation. It employs the spirited scenes AikBeng Chia has captured to develop large-scale photographic collages. Blended with the artist’s own humorous style, the new works embody a country bustling with life and activity in each individual piece.
From popular tourist precincts such as Chinatown and Little India, to unsuspecting heartlands like Punggol and Sengkang, ABC’s no-holds-barred approach offers an unadulterated insight into the country.
This installation blurs the lines between photography and interactive art, inviting visitors to engage deeply by photographing themselves within the installation. It offers a vibrant, unfiltered glimpse into Singaporean life, appealing to art enthusiasts, social media influencers, and casual visitors alike.
The series, entitled Singkarpor - reflecting the country’s name pronounced with a Hokkien inflection and includes a plethora of street scenes, landscapes and candid portraits.
Curated by John Tung.
