| 總結: | In Loving Memory is a poignant exploration of how we send off the dead in today’s contemporary landscape.
Living in a land-scarce Singapore, there is a growing tension between the living and the dead. The project survey locations in Singapore which names are associated with burial grounds to unveil lost narratives and utilitarian practices of handling the dead in a land-scarce country. Contemplating the losses in religious and cultural practices as a compromise, these abstractions are manifested with the employment of alternative photographic processes; the adapted techniques seek to demonstrate the various interruption of burial sites through the photographic medium to reveal the disfigured landmarks. By exploring contemporary ideas and imagery with historic and manipulated traditional processes, the body of work addresses the ideas of time, memory, and space. As sentimentality is framed as an indulgence and we gradually become desensitised, In Loving Memory questions if grief should be treated with convenience. |
