Liminal; Minimal

Location: Waterfront promenade in front of Red Dot Design Museum

Waste lurks unseen in the built environment — a silent witness to the development of a modern city and its excesses. Assembled with wooden beams, reclaimed pallets and discarded dust nettings, Liminal; Minimal exposes the hidden wastefulness of urban construction by framing the surrounding cityscape with remnants from building sites.

In the relentless pursuit of urban densification, Singapore finds itself at a crossroads. Liminal; Minimal is an interrogation of our intricate entanglement with waste. The artwork forces a confrontation with the transient nature of our built environment and represents an insistent call for sustainable practices in the face of rapid urban development.
