Duxton Plain Park
Entrance at Yan Kit Road
Public outdoor work. Accessible at all times.
{still} life presents reflective surfaces of varying sizes, encouraging viewers to peer into them. Strategically positioned for the unexpected encounter, the viewer gazes downwards to see the sky, and looks up to see the ground. Certain mirrors function as picture frames highlighting and contrasting specific details in the environment—old vs new, natural vs manmade, public vs private. —drawing closer the lesser-noticed and bringing the past a little closer to the present. This jostling of views that {still} life brings forth epitomises Singapore’s urbanity: around something historic or conserved, there is, often, a very modernised step-in.
The work takes inspiration from the environs of Duxton Plain Park and responds to the transitory nature of the site. Drawing on the genre of still life, it offers a snapshot of the park in this moment, inviting viewers to slow down and discover visual elements or perspectives that might not be apparent otherwise.
