Northeast Hinterland<\/em> captures evocative night scenes of Punggol, a northeastern suburb that has been touted as “a waterfront town of 21st century Singapore”. In this series of thought-provoking photographs of Kevin WY Lee, we are shown a different side of the story. Here is a Punggol we do not normally see — one where “sleep and sight are paradoxical”, where “histories, mythologies, legacies… play hide and seek”.<\/p>\n

Alongside the photographs, this volume documents the responses of over 100 viewers from all works of life. Their opinions, recollections and musings triggered by the images offer us a fascinating, multifaceted look at history, identity, and the ambiguities of land custodianship in Singapore.<\/p>\n

Eminent art historian, curator and writer\u00a0Tony Godfrey<\/strong> contributes a keynote essay, “Nox in the Banlieue?” Tony’s works, which include Conceptual Art<\/em> (1998) and\u00a0Painting Today<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>(2009), have been highly influential in contemporary art studies.<\/p>\n

Lawrence Basapa<\/strong>, grandson of the founder of Singapore’s first private zoo, located in Punggol, pens a heartfelt personal message.<\/p>\n
