Spirited City

Overview

Based on Bukit Brown, a once-prominent cemetery in Singapore, this work is a time capsule of voices, artefacts and critters that inhabit the space. Since early 1900s, the landscape of Bukit Brown has been continually reshaped to make way for building works. Combining video, collage and stop-motion, this work delves into the space of the cemetery as well as text archives, to demonstrate ongoing tensions between culture, nature and infrastructure.
