The Hyper Curation of Nature
Shawn Lee, @narrativeforms
The current planting and landscaping methodology of Singapore, lies in a highly curated image of what the state wants to be perceived as. This current top-down approach to gardening and greening of the state stifles the individual and personal expressions. It centres our greening efforts into a central utopic vision, dedicated to establishing a clear optic for Singapore.
This photo zine compiles film and digital images captured whilst travelling, using Singapore as a key precedent for the apotheosis of Nature Curation. Contrasting moments of control and respite, we see the dualities of a policed ‘nature’ and how life flourishes within our City in Nature.
