ERODING THE CITY

Inkjet print on 150 grit paper (230 x 280 mm), single channel video

The need to laugh remains as a core reaction to the everyday processes of urban regeneration and renewal. By rubbing structures of the past, present and future; Eroding The City is interested in locating the act of nostalgia, promise and hope. In an archival process, the works are carefully coated, stored for future reference, as an alternative archive.

This work has been exhibited at the Urban Redevelopment Authority, Singapore from 03-28 August 2019, and at DECK, Singapore for Undescribed #05 from 13 February - 15 March 2020.
