| Summary: | How to Disappear is a photographic exploration that documents the disappearing queer
community in Singapore. Since the repeal of Section 377A of the Penal Code, the community
had hopes that this could be a step forward for our country. However, the confusing tension
between the country and the community continues to grow as the leaders endorse
amendments to protect the definition of marriage post-repeal. This work dives into a narrative
that portrays the thorough erasure of the queer community in Singapore. Looking at our queer
history, and how the country had dealt with the community, it seems like the past is repeating
itself once again today. By merging modern image making and traditional photographic
processes, How to Disappear takes on the impossible task of capturing a disappearance. This
work serves as evidence to the community's existence, fighting for a more inclusive society
that embraces diversity, even if we remain unseen. |
