titled: Monument for a Present future. this work showcased the aftermath of a catastrophes in Philippines with fragments of body parts scattered around to portray the violence and fragility of life.

One of the highlights of Biennale and my favourite: Cosmology of Life. These miniature, talisman-like sculptures are carved when the artist was in a trance. 

It's so tiny you have to use a magnifying glass to peep through.

I love how intricate these sculptures were individually. It's such a miracle to be able to produce them. Amazed really. 

Titled: Stillness of Reflection. The artist conveyed photographic dimension and distances in his work through a compilation of photographs. Awesome

Titled: Little Soap Boy. Fusing a cheeky display with a middle finger to display provocative. This sculpture is made entirely of soap and placed outdoors. I wonder... already 'disfigured' when we saw it, but I guess that's the interactive part, you can rub your hands against the sculpture and wash your hands by the basin (seen on the right). 

Titled: Conducting Memories. This interactive display recorded sounds in the olden days till present days, recording the important events in Singapore history. Very clever. 

   Titled: Anahata. This work comprises more than 4000kg of saga seeds collected across SEA. Located in the centre of the Singapore Arts Museum, it also represents the heartbeat of the museum. 

Titled: Terra Sensa-Lovell 

Titled: Between Worlds. Another spectacular art piece which sees Wayang puppets placed inside glass bottles and lit up to mimic the effect of television.

Titled: The Garden. Another work by Singaporean Sean Lee, he confronts mortality, by photographing different parts of his parents' bodies. Captured as up close in an abstract way, they are almost unrecognisable and depicts possible forms of nature.

Titled: Tiempos Muertos (Dead Season) Glittering diamonds cast from sugar, which is a produce from the City of Bacolod, Philippines where the artist is from. 

A corner for viewers to pen down their views on the Birnnale's theme- If The World Changed.

Titled: Specula. Specula is latin for mirror and this work serves as a mirror through which the artist examines her transnational identity as a Vietnamese in a foreign country, as an American.

Title: El Fin del Mundo ( the end of the world) a video installation.

Titled: Mandi Bunga ( Flower Bath). The artist engaged 100 people whereby they designed and fabricated yellow costumes adorned with flowers. 

Titled: The Sick Classroom. A replica of a classroom in the village of the artist's in myanmar. The artist sculpted in wood, students from the village school's grade 1 class. 

Another highlight of Biennale is this surprisingly 'sensational' art piece by Japan's teamLab. Titled: Peace can be Realised Even Without Order, viewers were in for a treat when they stepped into a dark room, welcomed by vivid cut-out figures interacting with one another. This interactive digital installation created a symphony of sound and movement based on how viewers navigate around the exhibit, triggering motions sensors along the way.

This is the sensor monitor with colors representing sound and rhythm. Way cool! Indeed the most intelligent and impactful exhibit of all. 

Enjoy the video I took ( updated version)!
 Seriously sureal, you will be transported to a world of primitive dance and indifenous festivals in Japan with the orchestra of music and dance.

Titled: My longhouse Story. These onil on canvas colorful paintings depict the artist's experience growing up in a longhouse in Kudat, north Sabah. 

Titled: Hope Brings Us Here

They are so tiny, you have to sit or lay down to take a close look at the photos. 

Titled: The 5 principle No-s 

Titled: Forefinger. These fingers were clothed in exotic materials such as animal bone, fur, leather etc. The forefinger is the 'trigger finger' vital to soldiers and anti-war activists in Vietnam would cut of this finger to avoid conspiracy,

Titled: Mangrowe. Inspired by mangrove trees found in coastal areas in SEA. 

Titled: Urban Play. This installation explores problems in the artisits' host city in Indonesia.

A whimsical video, it shows how the artists, together with the villagers with children in particular, collected pieces of rubbish scraps, and later build up piece by piece via taping,created a HUGE BALL.

See? In a matter of days, this huge giantic ball was formed and was happily rolling through the lanes of the villages, much to the surprise and amazement of the locals. 

Micmicking the typical clinic setup.

I actualy love the black and white theme and the cut-out displays. 

Titled: The Great Puddle. Chinese ink and its scent whipped up a sense of rich histroy, tradition and culture. Its darkness hints at hiddens ecrets lurking in the corners pf the pool.

The reflective surface reveals and interrogated much of the rich history and culture of the Chinese. 

 A parody of the merger in 1963 between Singapore and Malaysia, this video installation is a happy sing-a-along to illustrates on what happens fif we had stayed merged as 1 country today.

Titled: The Loofah Trellis. In Vietnam "Loofah" is a street name for lactating mothers. The work highlights the means by which females form is objectified and subjected to the gaze of others. 

Untitled. This video installation sees the artist entering the lakes at different stages of their 'development' and pouring a bucket of sand over his head, as the Cambodian government allows the lakes to be filled with sand and be offered for private sales. 

Titled: The Old Man and the Sea. Singaporean  Erica Lai worked with 80 students who 'returned' small lots of reclaimed land on which their school has been built, back to the imaginary 'sea' that Lai created. 

Soils collected from parts of reclaimed land.

Titled: Toko Keperluan. This work recreates the experience of the old-fashioned provisions shop in Jakarta, Indonesia. 

Thanks for reading this long long  post on the Biennale, hope you have enjoyed yourself at this year's Singapore Biennale as much as we had. 

Amazingly, we saw many tourists who came just to visit the Biennale. Just goes to show that the Singapore Biennale has become an iconic art event locally and a wonderful platform to further showcase the arty side of our nation.
Was really impressed by the artworks this year from all the Southeast Asia regions, definitely more engaging and impactful than before. 

Well done to the committee and we look forward to the Biennale 2 years later~~
