Ernest Goh | ‘Bleached Bones: Last Words of the Dead Spoken by a Dying Sea’
January 11 @ 11:00 am - February 10 @ 7:00 pm
‘Bleached Bones’ is a visual catalogue of photographic prints by artist and photographer Ernest Goh. In this exhibition curated by Shireen Marican, bleached corals capture timeless, poignant last words of the departed.
Bleaching is a phenomenon when corals turn completely white after algae in their tissues are expelled when their waters are too warm — nature’s lasting reminder that climatic changes continue to influence ecological systems.
Ernest’s explorations across the shores of Nikoi Island in Indonesia led to a discovery of the unique formations of these bleached corals. In these, he finds a visual parallel to the alphabet system which he draws upon to contemplate lessons of life and living from death poems and last words.
This exhibition is presented by Blueprint Art Advisory. For information on exhibition programmes, please visit www.blueprintartadvisory.com/ernestgoh-bleachedbones
