Back to Where We've Never Been
Richard Koh Fine Art (RKFA), Kuala Lumpur
24 May - 14 June 2018
Back to Where We’ve Never Been being a reflection of the urban landscape in Singapore. Roads, pathways, bridges and features we encounter during our daily commute undergo extensive reparation such that it constantly feels brand new. The constant upgrading of the island’s infrastructure almost feels as if we are a self-regenerative city. It is only upon closer inspection can one see hints of a patchwork of cement on the sidewalk or the darker shade of tarmac on the road. With so much change occurring, it gives a strange sense that the same ground we tread on might have been grafted from another land we have never been to before, making the pathway familiar and yet not so.
