My Old Friend
A multi-channel video installation project that aims to provide an intimate perspective of our city-state by looking at the city as an old friend. Just as we know the inner thoughts and feelings of an old friend, this project aims to bring to life the different moods, snippets and details of our Singaporean hometown. Created using a mix of traditional and digital mediums, My Old Friend is an immersive experience with a touch of whimsicality that ultimately hopes to reflect the warmth and peace of our vibrant home.
