SUMMARY:Documentary Filmmaking Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This is not your average documentary workshop. It’s not about the latest gear\, or the trendiest topic\, or how to make your video go viral. This is about how life is often stranger than fiction\, what the functions and techniques of documentary are\, and how to tell a compelling non-fiction story for the screen. \nThe process of ideating\, producing\, filming\, editing your own documentary\, plus overcoming the various challenges that will come along with making a documentary\, will be the craft journey you will embark upon as a class across the 6 sessions. \nBy the end of the workshop\, you will have made a documentary that you can truly call your own\, and present it to the class in a film screening. \nThere will also be a screening of films by the class which is open to friends and family at the end of the workshop. \nWorkshop Fee: $950 (eligible for use of SkillsFuture Credit) \nInstructor: Jessica Lee \nPlease register via the form on our website.

SUMMARY:The Forest Listens\, Their Spirits Cry
DESCRIPTION:Featuring works by Gab Mejia (Philippines)\nRecipient of the 7th Objectifs Documentary Award\, Open Category\nCurated by Goh Sze Ying \n4 Apr to 18 May 2025\nChapel Gallery\, Objectifs\nFree admission \nOpening | 4 Apr 2025\, 12pm – 7pm \nNature and Spirit: An Artist Talk with Gab Mejia\nSat 5 Apr 2025\, 2.30pm – 3.30pm | Objectifs Workshop Space (Register here) \n\nRevered as healers\, warriors\, and teachers\, the Baylans of the Talaandig-Manobo have long been guardians of the sacred forests of Mount Kaluntungan in the southern Philippine province of Bukidnon\, threatened by an encroaching industrial pace since the Spanish and American colonial period. For the Baylans\, the forest is a sacred site—a portal\, a threshold. Nature and spirit abide in the Talaandig-Manobo narrative.\nGab Mejia pays homage to this verdant landscape and its people by directing our attention to the queer kinship of two central figures: a head spiritual leader Datu Arayan\, and a Baylan initiate and youth leader Krystahl Guina. A new generation of Baylans\, they are also members of the Kulahi Pangantucan Performing Arts Group—storytellers\, performers\, protectors of indigenous heritage. Mejia’s dreamlike portraits animate Datu and Krystal’s deep\, unspoken spiritual connection with their land\, home\, and family amidst the quiet domesticity of their daily rhythms. \nThe Forest Listens\, Their Spirits Cry speaks of a desire to pollinate a dream of a future belonging otherwise. \nPresented by Objectifs and supported by the Truthseeker Foundation. \n\nAbout the Artist \nGab Mejia (he/they) is a queer Filipino photographer\, multidisciplinary artist\, and environmental engineer. Born and raised in the Philippine archipelago\, his work unveils the threads of the climate crisis\, biodiversity loss\, ancestral knowledge\, cosmologies\, and cultural interconnections to confront our socio-political and ecological crises. \nMejia is a National Geographic Explorer\, Climate Pledge Global Storyteller\, Fellow in the International League of Conservation Photographers and 2019 Jackson Wild Media Lab Fellow. His work has appeared in National Geographic\, BBC\, CNN\, ArtPartner\, Vogue\, United Nations\, Manila Times\, Fotografiska Shanghai\, Photo London and TEDx talks amongst other publications and platforms. He is a Board of Trustee for the World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines. \nAbout the Curator \nGoh Sze Ying is Curator at National Gallery Singapore. At the Gallery\, she contributes to the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery long-term display\, Between Declarations and Dreams: Art of Southeast Asia since the 19th century. More recently\, she worked on exhibitions including Living Pictures: Photography in Southeast Asia (2022)\, Ever Present: First Peoples Art of Australia (2022)\, and Something New Must Turn Up (2020). In 2019\, she co-curated the sixth edition of the Singapore Biennale\, Every Step in the Right Direction. \nAbout the Objectifs Documentary Award \nThe Objectifs Documentary Award champions Objectifs’ mission to broaden perspectives through image making\, by supporting original voices in visual storytelling in Singapore and the wider region. The Award enables photographers to work on new or existing projects\, encouraging them to tell stories about their native communities. It welcomes different creative approaches to non-fiction storytelling\, from conventional documentary photography to visual experiments. \nAbout the Truthseeker Foundation \nThe Truth Seeker Foundation believes that education and enlightenment are the best ways to address many of the social issues we face today. Amongst the many causes the Foundation supports\, it advocates for raising awareness of social and environmental issues through photography. \n\n\nJoin us at our related exhibitions and events: \nExhibition: Mattude by Aziziah Diah Aprilya\nCollecting the Clams: An Artist Talk with Aziziah Diah Aprilya – | Sat 5 Apr 2025\, 1pm – 2pm (register here) \nExhibition: Tubig Alat (Salt Water) by Geela Garcia\nAll life depends on Salt: An Artist Talk with Geela Garcia | Sat 5 Apr 2025\, 4pm – 5pm (register here)

SUMMARY:Tubig Alat (Salt Water)
DESCRIPTION:Featuring works by Geela Garcia (Philippines)\nRecipient of the 7th Objectifs Documentary Award\, Emerging Category\nMentored by Jessica Lim \n4 April to 18 May 2025\nLower Gallery 1\, Objectifs\nFree admission \nOpening | 4 Apr 2025\, 12pm – 7pm \nAll life depends on Salt: An Artist talk with Geela Garcia\nSat 5 Apr 2025\, 4pm – 5pm | Objectifs Workshop Space (register here) \nSmoke blankets the room where Emma Ganila has been scooping brine into an assembly line of tin cans. As salt water boils and evaporates in the tins\, blocks of white salt form. Emma has been making Tultul\, an artisanal salt only found on Guimaras island. \nOn Iloilo\, an island right across Emma’s\, Lorlie Noblezada watches her son\, John\, face strong breaking waves as he collects seawater with a bamboo pole to start the process of making Budbud salt. \nEmma and Lorlie are some of the last artisanal saltmakers in the Philippines. Both have been safekeeping traditional saltmaking processes for decades. However\, this craft is in fast decline. \nDespite a long history of saltmaking\, the Philippines\, an archipelago with the fifth-longest coastline in the world\, has not produced enough salt for its own needs for the past 15 years. The country has some of the rarest salts in the world\, including Tultul and Budbud\, and it only needs to ultilise six percent of its coastline to be self-sufficient in salt. But local salts are on the brink of extinction due to unsupportive policies\, industry neglect\, and climate change. \nThe process of making artisanal salt is time-consuming and laborious\, but still\, Emma\, at 74\, spends her day inside the warm and smoky production house to cook blocks of Tultul salt; Lorlie assesses the seasons and checks if the skies are clear to schedule production of Budbud salt. For these matriarchs\, this craft\, as much as it is a livelihood\, is what binds their families’ day-to-day living. \nAll life depends on salt. \nPresented by Objectifs \nSupported by the Truthseeker Foundation \n______ \nAbout the artist \nGeela Garcia is a Filipino photographer and multimedia journalist based in Manila\, Philippines. Her photographic work\, which documents stories of women\, food sovereignty\, and the environment\, aims to write history from the experience of its makers. \nShe received the Seed Award from the Prince Claus Fund in 2023 for her photojournalism work\, and is currently a Shifting Democracies Fellow at Global Press. \nGeela’s writing and photography appear on the Thomson Reuters Foundation – Context News\, South China Morning Post\, and Rappler among others. She is a member of Women Photograph and Diversify Photo Up Next. \nAbout the Mentor \nJessica Lim is currently the director of Angkor Photo Festival & Workshops (APFW)\, a non-profit association based in Cambodia. For most of her professional life\, she has worked to provide support and opportunities to visual storytellers in the majority world. Her move to Cambodia built on her previous experience with Drik Picture Library in Dhaka\, Bangladesh\, a media organisation dedicated to advocating for social equality\, where she served as a news and photo editor and photographer liaison. She majored in journalism and graduated from the Nanyang Technological University of Singapore in 2006. \nJessica is currently based in Siem Reap\, Cambodia\, where on any given day there is a good chance of meeting water buffalos. \n_____ \nAbout the Objectifs Documentary Award \nThe Objectifs Documentary Award champions Objectifs’ mission to broaden perspectives through image making\, by supporting original voices in visual storytelling in Singapore and the wider region.

SUMMARY:Mattude
DESCRIPTION:Featuring works by Aziziah Diah Aprilya (Indonesia)\nRecipient of the 7th Objectifs Documentary Award\, Emerging Category\nMentored by Jessica Lim\n4 April to 18 May 2025\nLower Gallery 2\, Objectifs\nFree admission \nOpening | 4 Apr 2025\, 12pm – 7pm \nArtist Talk: Aziziah Diah Aprilya – Collecting the Clams\nSat 5 Apr 2025\, 1pm – 2pm | Objectifs Workshop Space (register here) \nMattude is a project where I document the effects of reclamation projects along the coast of Makassar\, my hometown in South Sulawesi in Indonesia. Mattude – a local term which means “collecting the clams” – has also come to represent my way of collecting and sharing stories about the resilience of the coastal women of Makassar. \nThe Makassar city government’s reclamation plans echoes similar developments throughout Indonesia. Reclamation in Makassar started in the late 1990s with road construction\, then housing areas\, flats\, hotels\, malls\, a new port\, and more. To date\, 209 hectares of land have been reclaimed\, and it is expected that thousands more hectares will be created along the west and north of Makassar’s coastline. The Makassar City Spatial Plan anticipates that reclamation will expand 26% of the city area. \nBefore reclamation began\, the coast of Makassar was a lively fishing community where people could get various types of fish\, clams and crabs. For the coastal women\, the sea was a means of livelihood\, a shared social space\, a playground for their children\, and a sacred place for rituals. \nAccording to indigenous coastal beliefs\, ancestors are thought to live in the water in various forms. There are crocodiles\, snakes\, dolphins\, fish\, centipedes\, they say. In Bugis and Makassar culture\, many still believe that each person has twin crocodiles. We call these ancestors ‘Nene’ or grandmother. During certain celebrations\, offerings must be lowered into the sea or river as a sign of gratitude to the grandmother\, ancestors\, and nature. These rituals are said to prevent bad luck and disaster\, and are led by women. \nAs reclamation continues\, the livelihoods and practices of coastal communities have come increasingly under threat. They have lost touch with coastal creatures and tide changes. They are losing their physical and spiritual relationship to the sea. \nSince 2017\, the coastal women of Makassar have gathered as a means of survival and resistance. They organize protests against the reclamation\, and find other ways of making a living. As the excavators reclaim the coast\, these women seek to reclaim their own narratives. \nPresented by Objectifs \nSupported by the Truthseeker Foundation \n___ \nAbout the Artist \nAziziah Diah Aprilya (b.1997)\, also known as Zizi\, is an Indonesian photographer\, writer\, and art and cultural practitioner based in Makassar\, South Sulawesi. Her works often explore environmental\, social-cultural\, and women issues\, and she is also interested in stories about food\, rituals\, and mythologies. Zizi’s work has been exhibited in Jakarta\, Solo\, Yogyakarta\, and Makassar\, and she recently published her first photobook\, Got Your Back (SOKONG! Publisher\, 2024). \nIn Makassar\, she works closely with urban studies collective\, art communities\, and literacy groups. Zizi is part of Diversify Photo and Women Photograph and is frequently involved in film production as a still and behind-the-scenes photographer. \nAbout the Mentor \nJessica Lim is currently the director of Angkor Photo Festival & Workshops (APFW)\, a non-profit association based in Cambodia.

SUMMARY:Objectifs Film Club X Walter Benjamin Reading Group: Dance Of A Humble Atheist
DESCRIPTION:Objectifs Film Club x Walter Benjamin Reading Group: Dance of a Humble Atheist by Toh Hun Ping x One Way Street by Walter Benjamin \nFri\, 28 Feb 2025 | 7.30pm – 9pm\nVenue: Objectifs Workshop Space \nOrganised in collaboration with the NUS Malay Studies Department \nFree admission\, please RSVP here. \nPlease note that as this is a film screening x reading group\, participants will be required to finish the reading beforehand in order to partake in the programme. You may access the reading at this link. \n\nWalter Benjamin’s One-Way Street is an essayistic voyage of leaps\, disjuncture\, misleads\, and occasional dead-ends. A bewildering read\, likely to be influenced by Surrealism in the 1920s\, it comprises meditative fragments of extreme brevity\, cryptic ellipses\, and satisfying length on a range of subjects and formats – dreams\, cities\, childhood\, diary\, writing advice. One can start reading back to front\, from the middle then either way\, it doesn’t matter. The fragments of prose hang together like a collage\, which may only make ‘sense’ if we appreciate what collage does and the effect it creates. Headings with the name of a city do not tell us much about the place\, upsetting the relationship between ‘title’ and ‘content’. \nWe may find similar experimentations with form and content in the film Dance of the Humble Atheist by Toh Hun Ping\, in which the filmmaker meditates on ‘death\, faith\, the possibility of the afterlife\, the natural world\, consciousness\, and time.’ A larger question we will explore in our discussion is: Where\, when\, why\, and how do we make space for and embrace incoherence\, absences\, empty spaces\, non-linearity\, nonsense\, and irrationality? Engaging the essay and film as companion pieces\, this Film Club x Reading Group session invites readers to unpick and unravel our taken-for-granted notions of ‘form’ that structure our experience of art and culture. \nThe discussion will focus on the following ‘fragments’ from One-Way Street: No. 113\, Chinese curios\, Gloves\, Mexican embassy\, Construction site\, Teaching aid\, Post no bills\, No. 13\, Arc lamp\, Loggia\, Travel souvenirs\, Polyclinic\, Legal Protection of the needy\, To the Planetarium. Access the reading here. \nThe session will be led by Alicia Izharuddin. \n\nWalter Benjamin was a German-Jewish writer and philosopher whose influential work on art\, history\, modernity\, and capitalism has become a protean and prophetic lens for our collective past\, present and future. Although he wrote mainly about the ruins and emerging cultures of Paris and Berlin\, the essence of his arguments about how we write and experience the historical present\, how we experience art\, and how we must engage with the relentless onslaught of capitalism are relevant to us living at a time defined by both ruin and perpetual states of emergence. \nKey themes that animate Walter Benjamin’s well-known writings can be appreciated in Southeast Asian filmmaking. The Objectifs Film Club x Walter Benjamin Reading Group is a space for re-reading Benjamin’s work through Southeast Asian films about cultural memory\, collective pasts and futures\, post-colonialism legacies\, and affect in an age of information overload. \n\nAbout Dance of a Humble Atheist\nAn existential journey of semi-abstract imagery inspired by the filmmaker’s personal ruminations on death\, spiritual faith\, nature and the cosmos. From the funeral of a dying being\, a wondrous cornucopia after life\, to a phosphoric revolt of consciousness. This silent film is created entirely via frame-by-frame animation\, using digital scans of over six hundred individually sculpted ceramic reliefs. With production support from Pinch Ceramics Studio (Singapore). \nAbout the facilitator\nAlicia Izharuddin is currently a Senior Visiting Fellow in Gender and Sexuality at the National University of Singapore where she teaches courses on film and gender in Southeast Asia. She is committed to the public engagement of academia through organising reading groups in bookshops and women’s rights organisations. An interdisciplinary scholar in gender studies by training\, she has taught at the University of Malaya\, Harvard University\, and held prestigious fellowships at the Harvard Divinity School and Leiden University. \nAbout the filmmaker\nToh Hun Ping is a video artist\, experimental filmmaker and film researcher. His video works explore and express themes of mental instability\, alternate realities\, resistance and existence. He employs experimental moving image-making methods from film-scratching\, bleaching photographs\, merging materials (mud\, meat\, nails) with video stills\, to stop-motion animation with ceramic reliefs. The works have been presented in exhibitions and film festivals in Hong Kong\, Singapore\, Taipei\, Paris\, Seoul\, Tokyo\, Boston and Bangkok. As a film researcher\, he is investigating the history of filmmaking in early-mid 20th century Singapore\, and has served as researcher-writer and video editor for projects organised by The National Museum of Singapore and Asian Film Archive (‘State of Motion’). He also started the Singapore Film Locations Archive\, a private video collection of films made in and about Singapore\, and runs a website about the intrigues of old Singapore film locations (sgfilmlocations.com). \nAbout the NUS Malay Studies Department\nThe NUS Malay Studies department aims to promote intellectual awareness to the concerns of the globalised Malay world through world-class teaching and research. It is home to the interdisciplinary synthesis of local\, decolonial\, and western approaches to Malay cultures of Southeast Asia and beyond. The department also maintains strong links with the local community in terms of policy studies\, public intellectual engagement and social service. \nAbout the Objectifs Film Library\nThe Objectifs Film Library is an initiative by Objectifs that aims to be a resource for film lovers in Singapore and the region. Currently\, the collection is focused on short films from Southeast Asia. \nUsers will be able to rent some of these films to watch in the comfort of their homes\, and a wider selection is available exclusively at our centre. \nAccess the Objectifs Film Library here.

SUMMARY:Storytelling Through Photography Course
DESCRIPTION:Photography has the power to capture moments in time\, document events\, and record our experiences. How can we move beyond strong single images and start to tell compelling visual stories? \nIn this workshop\, participants begin by exploring the work of established documentary photographers. They will learn to develop their vision by identifying themes of personal interest and finding stories around them. The course takes a hands-on approach to visual storytelling\, with participants shooting images weekly and receiving feedback from the instructor and in group critiques. In the process\, they learn the principles\, ethics of and approaches to documentary photography and refine their work. \nParticipants in this course should possess basic technical proficiency in photography and have an interest in visual storytelling and documentary photography. They will maximise their learning in the course if they commit to working on their photo story between sessions. This course will also be useful to those who want to use documentary photography and visual storytelling across a variety of disciplines from advocacy\, to marketing\, to journalism and more. \nParticipants are to use their own cameras and other softwares (if applicable) which they are comfortable with for this workshop. \nKindly note that this instalment of the workshop will run in a hybrid model\, consisting of a mixture of in-person and online sessions. Please refer to the schedule below for more details. \nGroup A: 21 Jan to 11 Mar 2025 \n1. Tue 21 Jan\, 7.30pm – 10pm\n2. Mon 27 Jan\, 7.30pm – 10pm (online)\n3. Tue 4 Feb\, 7.30pm – 10pm (online)\n4. Tue 18 Feb\, 7.30pm – 10pm (online)\n5. Tue 25 Feb\, 7.30pm – 10pm (online)\n6. Tue 11 Mar\, 7.30pm – 10pm \nTechnical Requirements\nBasic photography proficiency will be helpful. Participants may shoot with a smartphone but the use of a DSLR or mirrorless camera is encouraged if possible and accessible\, as it allows for a greater range of technical possibilities.

SUMMARY:Phenomenology of Light and Rhythms of the Earth
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition by Zen Teh and SueKi Yee \n14 Jan to 2 Mar 2025\nObjectifs Lower Galleries \nOpening: Tue 14 Jan 2025\, 7pm – 9pm\nThe opening reception will be accompanied by a performance by Sueki Yee at 7pm.\nFree admission \nRelated events\nParticipative Movement Workshop (Please register here)\nDate & Time: Sat 18 Jan 2025\, 3pm – 530pm\nWorkshop details\nSueKi’s performance: 3pm – 4pm\nSharing and movement activities: 4pm – 530pm\nLocation: Objectifs Lower Galleries\nFree admission \nPhenomenology of Light and Rhythms of the Earth is a project extended from Zen Teh’s residency project and exhibition at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin\, Germany. As part of her residency project\, she conducted walking workshops in Phnom Penh\, Bangkok and Berlin. This project idea draws on her ongoing research on our relationship with urbanity in rapidly developing cities. \nZen (visual art) and SueKi (dance) as collaborators\, are now interested in moving forward with research into Singapore’s urban context\, delving deeper into how they can explore the discourses on light and urbanity through multidisciplinary means: soundscapes\, multimedia data translation\, movement\, and tactile forms. This provides multiple entry points into the research as well as the interpretation\, creation\, and presentation of the data. Through artistic means\, they are interested in opening up a space where people can take time to process and discuss their embodied perspectives on light and darkness\, and how these ever co-existing elements are inextricably linked to life rhythms\, memories\, pollution\, urban development\, safety and surveillance\, environmental changes\, accessibility of energy\, and volatile global political states. \n— \nAbout Zen Teh\nZen Teh (b.1988\, Singapore) is an artist and educator interested in man’s relationship with the natural world. Her art practice spans photography\, sculpture and installation art. Teh has initiated collaborative interdisciplinary projects with artists\, art professionals and scientists to explore the impact of human activity on natural environments. Teh’s works have been showcased in Singapore and regionally including Thailand\, Cambodia\, Indonesia\, Korea\, Japan\, Taiwan and China. She was conferred the Young Artist Award by The National Arts Council\, Singapore in 2021. She was artist-in-residence at the International Studio Programme at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin\, Germany in 2024. \nAbout SueKi Yee\nSueKi Yee is a Malaysian dancer-choreographer (currently based in Berlin) who’s drawn to improvisation\, site-specific work\, and multidisciplinary experimentation and collaboration. With a Bachelor in Dance (ASWARA)\, she’s trained in contemporary dance\, ballet\, and various traditional folk and classical dances. Movement has become her entry point into understanding and exploring other art forms\, providing diverse entry points into her work and expanding the horizons of research\, creation\, and presentation.

Comprising an exhibition and a series of informal gatherings\, the project approaches curatorial work of care as a means of revealing and understanding the often-invisible labours of artistic production. Transforming Objectifs’ Chapel Gallery into a shared\, psychological artists’ studio\, the exhibition synthesises four propositions on care by artists Hu Rui\, Genevieve Leong\, Huijun Lu\, and Arabelle Zhuang. The informal gatherings aim to broaden and deepen the discourse\, probing the values encoded in our words and actions. Featuring programmes such as a dialogue with artist Ezzam Rahman and open studios\, these gatherings create a space to imagine how we might journey together sustainably\, thriving within—and beyond—Singapore’s pursuit of excellence. \n— \nAbout the Curator\nLenette Lua is a practice-led researcher and curator whose interests delve into reconciling the contested intersections of political\, economic\, and socio-cultural spheres through her curatorial work. While at the Royal College of Art in London\, she initiated the long-term curatorial project ‘Fungi Initiative\,’ exploring institutional collaborations via participatory artist-led workshops. She was the recipient of the Objectifs Curator Open Call 2024 Award. \nAbout the Artists \nArabelle Zhuang is an interdisciplinary artist working across photography\, moving images and textiles. In her practice\, Zhuang examines the interpersonal relationship\, beauty in the peripheral and the cyclical nature of being. She is interested in developing narratives that search for the multiplicities of everyday life and the layers in between. \nEzzam Rahman is a multi-disciplinary artist known for his interest in the body and the use of common\, easily accessible\, yet unconventional media in his art practice. Working across sculpture\, installation\, digital media\, and performance\, he creates works that are often autobiographical\, time-based\, and ephemeral\, aiming to pique viewers’ thoughts on the themes of body politics\, identity\, impermanence\, traces\, and abjection. He was awarded a joint winner of the Grand Prize for the President’s Young Talents 2015 and the People’s Choice Award by the Singapore Art Museum. Ezzam won the Most Promising Award for photography at the PULSE Awards 2021. He served as artistic director for The Substation in 2021 and was involved in various prestigious programmes\, including the NIE Visiting Artist Programme and NAC Our SG Arts Plan launch event. \nGenevieve Leong‘s art practice attempts to visualise the intangible. Beginning with the immaterial\, her work often combines text\, image\, found and made objects and the manipulation of space to create what she describes as “an almost physical image”. The installations that she creates often embody an impermanence with possibilities for change\, whether it be due to audience participation or natural environmental factors. Her work seeks to shed new light onto her emotions\, sensations\, and realisations. \nHu Rui works with videos\, installations\, and computer simulation. His practice engages with issues around temporality from a multitude of variables\, including causality\, prediction\, choice\, and language. He is the recipient of the Best Experimental Animation Award at the 60th Ann Arbor Film Festival and a Jury Special Mention at the 25FPS Festival Croatia. He is Assistant Professor in Computation and Design at Duke Kunshan University. \nHuijun Lu works at the intersections of art\, music\, engineering and computing. Lu’s practice culminates in kinetic installations\, sculptures\, moving images and soundscapes. Consistent in the works are mechanisms and circuits that examine the function of objects\, observations about the unnoticed in our environments\, and technology’s role in mediating relationships with our surroundings. \nAbout the designer \nVanessa Ban is a designer and educator with over a decade of experience working with cultural institutions and commercial clients. She is the founder of External Assessment Summer School\, an interdisciplinary educational initiative that bridges art\, critical theory\, and design. Vanessa has served on jury panels including D&AD and The Crowbar Awards. As an adjunct faculty\, she incorporates her professional expertise and critical design approach honed through experiences at Pentagram\, Typography Summer School New York\, and the London College of Communication.

DESCRIPTION:A book showcase initiated by Hong Shu-ying \n14 Sep to 21 Dec 2024\nObjectifs Library\nFree admission \nRelated events\nBook Sharing (Please register here)\nDate & Time: Wed 2 Oct\, 7.30pm – 9pm\nLocation: Objectifs Workshop Space\nFree admission \nBook Club #1: Time Capsules (Please register here)\nDate & Time: Thu 14 Nov\, 7.30pm – 9pm\nLocation: Objectifs Annexe\nFree admission \nPREMISE \n“[collected on paper] has a simple premise. It intends to combine: \n\nthe magic of hearing an artist or bookmaker share about their process\, and\nthe luxury of time and comfort when reading in a library.\n\nAn art book is a curious object—it’s an artwork you can touch and carry around. It can have pictures and texts\, or many pictures and no text\, or even texts and no pictures. \nArt books afford a private space and mode of encounter that can be revisited freely and repeatedly. While I love the conversations surrounding books and their makers at an art fair\, it’s an awfully extroverted endeavour. [collected on paper] offers a chance to explore different art books and the creators’ thoughts in an intimate setting\, with notes on their processes and materials.” \nMODE \nA selection of books will be presented alongside a book club under a particular idea on each occasion. The showcase is held within an existing art book library\, allowing the books to be encountered in the context of other art books. \nThe first occasion will reflect on the idea of time capsules. On this occasion\, the books selected for discussions related to time capsules contain images that share certain qualities with the capsules themselves: \n\nmost of the images in these books were not originally intended to become part of a book.\nthese images\, like most in books\, gain additional readings over time\, but they also become irreplicable\, as the shift in time directly impacts their context.\n\n[collected on paper] is co-programmed by Hong Shu-ying and Objectifs Centre for Photography and Film. \n\nOccasion #1: Time Capsules  \nA time capsule is a container where things are well-kept and protected from the elements. I’ve always found it fascinating that everyday objects can become archived and emblematic of their era once they are placed in a time capsule. These items aren’t necessarily exclusive or rare but serve as a snapshot of what the capsule’s creator valued at that moment. The very existence of a time capsule implies that care and resources have been dedicated to preserving these objects. \nOn this occasion\, the books selected for discussions related to time capsules contain images that share certain qualities with the capsules themselves: \n\nmost of the images in these books were not originally intended to become part of a book.\nthese images\, like most in books\, gain additional readings over time\, but they also become irreplicable\, as the shift in time directly impacts their context.\n\nBooks Featured 📚📚📚 \n\nAparna Nori – 24 Slides\nGeorge Wong – Wallet\nLai Yu Tong – Things I Bought\, Things I Threw Away\, Things I Ate\, Things I Saw\, Things I Made\, and Other Things (For Future Reference)\nLou / Atelier HOKO – Spider & Man\n\n\nAbout Hong Shu-ying \nHong Shu-ying 方舒颖 is an artist who collects and works with found images and materials. She recontextualises familiar sights and sounds to highlight patterns\, repetitions\, and contradictions related to inheritance and ways of learning. \nHer recent projects delve into informal archives\, which act like personal and communal time capsules that encapsulate the banalities and peculiarities of life. These include handwritten elements found in scores and annotations\, alongside amateur videos and images. This fascination is informed by her experiences growing up in amateur Chinese orchestras and the internet. \nShu holds a BFA (Hons) in Media Art (Photography) from Nanyang Technological University\, School of Art\, Design\, and Media. She was awarded the Kwek Leng Joo Prize of Excellence in Photography and featured in the 6th Women in Film and Photography Showcase by Objectifs (Singapore). Recently\, she had her first solo presentation at Esplanade (Singapore) as part of the Singapore Art Week 2024. She has participated in exhibitions\, showcases\, and festivals internationally\, including in Austria\, Cambodia\, China\, Germany\, Indonesia\, Italy\, Malaysia\, the Netherlands\, South Korea\, Taiwan\, and Thailand.
