LAST 2 DAYS! The Part In The Story Where We Lost Count Of The Days (2) by Heman Chong & Future Perfect Till 31 Aug | Future Perfect, Gillman Barracks Viewers will encounter three of the artist’s recent works, each revealing aspects of his use of photography. The exhibition explores the multivalent role of the camera in Chong’s practice and its precarious relationship with other artistic media. A Short Story About Singapore (Volume 1) is one of many works by Chong that utilizes photography to construct large-scale archives. Abandoning high-end cameras in favour of the cheap layman’s ‘snapshot’ camera, the artist distances himself from the role of technician. Instead, he uses pocket-sized cameras that may be used without attracting much attention from his subjects and surroundings. This new work sees Chong returning to photography as a means of constructing narrative. As suggested by the title, A Short Story About Singapore (Volume 1) offers itself as a non-linear story to be ‘read’ by the viewer, played out over 100 images of Singapore. #art #arts #visualarts #exhibition #singapore
