Jessica Wong, 22 I imagine, I create stories, I perceive these things. What I can share may just be the visuals, but at that point when I am pressing the shutter, I am inhaling the smells. Before and after, I am running my fingers along weathered walls, rusty doors, knowing that it is real, trying to feel and sense a place, thinking of the persons who have touched the same spot before, what they are/were like, what they do/did. A place becomes real when it is/has been inhabited, when a person makes a mark, knowingly or unknowingly. A place becomes real when people interact within - when people stand so close and try to avoid a stranger at the same time in a shared narrow space. mentions
"..is a series of photographs of daily life
in Singapore shot in black and white to
depict an alternative Singaporean identity"
"..the photographer materialises her shots of
Singapore in the darkness of her bedroom."
