Conceived as an intentionally unreliable dig, the installation presents artefacts that are fabricated, tools that appear worn yet function as props, and traces that hover between evidence and invention. In this porous landscape of construction and enactment, authenticity becomes a shifting terrain—negotiated rather than assured. Popular culture has long mediated the public’s perception of archaeology through cinematic tropes and heroic mythologies. These representations privilege discovery and spectacle, often eclipsing the discipline’s slow, collaborative, and interpretive processes. Secrets, Sweat and Sand revisits these popular narratives, questioning how archaeology is consumed, mythologised, and visualised. By foregrounding the aesthetics of excavation and the mechanics of storytelling, the work invites reflection on how histories are assembled from fragments—sometimes from the faintest trace, and often without question. Here, the viewer becomes archaeologist, actor, and audience in equal measure, implicated in the act of interpretation. The installation is less of an inquiry into what can be known than an exploration of how belief is produced—through repetition, desire, and the sedimentation of images and material over time. In blurring these boundaries, Secrets, Sweat and Sand examines not only the excavation of objects, but also the excavation of meaning itself. ︎ Exhibition ︎ SAM Contemporaries: How to Dream Worlds&nbsp; Sand, rocks, excavation tools, artefact props, vinyl sticker, filming &amp; camping equipment, video installation2025&nbsp; <img width="3600" height="2401" width_o="3600" height_o="2401" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/76e6827463c4b873e3d15a1c6877bbd49fd27e3d30487f10f97333399b16be6b/Installation-view-of-NEO_ARTEFACTSs-Secrets--Sweat-and-Sand-as-part-of-SAM-Contemporaries_-How-To-Dream-Worlds-at-SAM-at-Tanjong-Pagar-Distripark.-Image-courtesy-of-Singapore-Art-Museum.jpg" data-mid="239392723" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/76e6827463c4b873e3d15a1c6877bbd49fd27e3d30487f10f97333399b16be6b/Installation-view-of-NEO_ARTEFACTSs-Secrets--Sweat-and-Sand-as-part-of-SAM-Contemporaries_-How-To-Dream-Worlds-at-SAM-at-Tanjong-Pagar-Distripark.-Image-courtesy-of-Singapore-Art-Museum.jpg" /> <img width="3600" height="2401" width_o="3600" height_o="2401" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c1a6003dfba99259316b865407c047b55648336e944c5857f332d0570fca6a8c/Installation-view-of-NEO_ARTEFACTSs-Secrets--Sweat-and-Sand-as-part-of-SAM-Contemporaries_-How-To-Dream-Worlds-at-SAM-at-Tanjong-Pagar-Distripark.-Image-courtesy-of-Singapore-Art-Museum1.jpg" data-mid="239392722" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c1a6003dfba99259316b865407c047b55648336e944c5857f332d0570fca6a8c/Installation-view-of-NEO_ARTEFACTSs-Secrets--Sweat-and-Sand-as-part-of-SAM-Contemporaries_-How-To-Dream-Worlds-at-SAM-at-Tanjong-Pagar-Distripark.-Image-courtesy-of-Singapore-Art-Museum1.jpg" /> Installation view of NEO_ARTEFACTS’s ‘Secrets, Sweat and Sand’ as part of ‘SAM Contemporaries: How To Dream Worlds’ at SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark.

Open House Kampong Gelam Artwalk] Lingkaran Kenangan is an exercise in unearthing the untold stories and material culture associated with the V. S. S. Varusai family, who have been part of Kampong Gelam's landscape for generations. The installation comprises artefacts shown on the storefront of V. S. S. Varusai.&nbsp; The storefront features a glass display consisting of shelves that resemble stratigraphic levels, and these shelves contain an assortment of artefacts. It includes a collection of necessities that V. S. S. Varusai sold, presented as found and archived artefacts. These artefacts have an influence on how the pilgrimage is recognised and practised. Objects that were used long ago can still help us understand people’s lives better through encounters with it. The stratification is predicated on the frequency of object usage, specifically whether the artefacts are employed daily, regularly, or exclusively during the Hajj pilgrimage. The removal of debris from the artefacts is an ongoing process. Encapsulating it in time, the work delves into V. S. S. Varusai as an archaeological site. Additionally, there is a passport documenting the pilgrimage and the family's business. Lastly, a curated fragrance presented in an empty bottle bearing the label "Kampung Spirit" is displayed, encouraging visitors to contemplate the manner in which it has been marketed to the extent that its very essence is nearly depleted. The experience is designed to familiarise the process of travelling to Hajj, reflecting Kampong Gelam's role as a meeting point for pilgrims across Southeast Asia back when travel regulations were enforced from the Dutch East Indies to Mecca during the colonial period. To circumvent the colonial administration, pilgrims would first arrive in Singapore to seek employment before continuing on to Mecca. Despite these limitations, many still made the journey. Intertwining the family narratives with the artefacts, Lingkaran Kenangan reinterprets archiving methods to offer an experience into the layers of Kampong Gelam. It is a question of the conventional, often colonial, ways of archiving that tend to limit accessibility and neglect the essence of human experiences. Through this, the artwork hopes to document V. S. S. Varusai through the lens of material culture and communal memory. &nbsp;&gt;&gt;&gt; Commissioned as part of OH! Open House Kampong Gelam: Palimpsest, 2024︎ Exhibition ︎ OH!

It delves into found images and audio-visual material culture in their historical context, examining the elements that impacted their formation and repurposing. It also uncovers how the media has responded to current concerns and trends, offering clues into the cultural milieu in which they are transmitted. The growth of media has played a significant role in the formation and development of Internet culture. Engagement, accessibility of publishing, and lightning-speed dissemination of data and audio-visual material were made possible by the Internet. Specifically, meme became prevalent due to their relatability, influencing online culture and comedy. Presently, media has expanded and transformed in response to the introduction of social networking sites and technology, and it remains an essential component of the virtual realm. ︎ Exhibition ︎&nbsp;Another Space: Beta Test Another Space is an informal series of short-form presentations located at Another Department (@anotherdepartment), working around the space’s day-to-day use as a commercial photography studio. In response to the inherent ‘placelessness’ of the studio photoshoot, each presentation will be loosely framed by a typology of space.

If another species lands on earth millions of years from today, what will it find? It will excavate various unidentifiable objects without knowing its functions. A Sheng Siong plastic bag will exist for another century while we only have 70 years to live. Everyday objects such as these become a tangible echo of our existence, recasting them into artefacts.&nbsp;Further exploring the archaeology of the present, construction activity is an indicator of changes in the physical landscape. Continuous building of sites, in tandem with demolition works, become layers that build up the attributes of a place. The negotiation between creation and demolition results in an archive for urban fragments through collecting: rocks, concrete pieces, broken pavement, discarded tiles.Archaeological information that is accessible to the public is typically placed in formalized settings, thus d3ar succ3ssor hopes to expand on these existing information structures. ︎ Exhibition ︎ d3ar succ3ss0r Mixed media installation2022&nbsp; <img width="3989" height="2562" width_o="3989" height_o="2562" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dfe9e10f78956159a015375142fdba2712d6dc5d6809613b8a614b44809b1d07/Wall-1_1.JPEG" data-mid="246223720" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dfe9e10f78956159a015375142fdba2712d6dc5d6809613b8a614b44809b1d07/Wall-1_1.JPEG" /> <img width="4002" height="2562" width_o="4002" height_o="2562" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9a93832bf6b6bd7cc3ec56817e9fa7a63aab4e9da997324e9d1221fe40b6a26f/Wall-1_4.JPEG" data-mid="246223719" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9a93832bf6b6bd7cc3ec56817e9fa7a63aab4e9da997324e9d1221fe40b6a26f/Wall-1_4.JPEG" /> <img width="4015" height="2562" width_o="4015" height_o="2562" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e77a81be6e9d4818f566f47dfeda2802ee271d3a62d299228bdc46ae96025365/Wall-2_1.jpeg" data-mid="246223830" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e77a81be6e9d4818f566f47dfeda2802ee271d3a62d299228bdc46ae96025365/Wall-2_1.jpeg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0eccfae059a70d5eea489f976c70ee4c7c16bd2eff4d7c71dd96560dc63d0fba/IMG_2556-2.jpg" data-mid="246223850" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0eccfae059a70d5eea489f976c70ee4c7c16bd2eff4d7c71dd96560dc63d0fba/IMG_2556-2.jpg" /> <img width="4018" height="2561" width_o="4018" height_o="2561" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5e699558f75e258a3ff95115830782bd4618f198bcd84c39d6c77ecb12a54bc2/Wall-3_2.JPEG" data-mid="246223717" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5e699558f75e258a3ff95115830782bd4618f198bcd84c39d6c77ecb12a54bc2/Wall-3_2.JPEG" /> &nbsp; https://neoartefacts.com/Hanya-Tinggal-Kenangan Fri, 18 Jun 2021 09:09:24 +0000 NEO_ARTEFACTS https://neoartefacts.com/Hanya-Tinggal-Kenangan Hanya Tinggal Kenangan | NEO_ARTEFACTS Hanya Tinggal Kenangan Hanya Tinggal Kenangan visualises an excavation of contemporary culture in our fast-paced present. The installation delves into the impending revamp of Bugis Village Shopping Street. For many growing up in Singapore during the 2000s, the shopping street was a place of youthful experimentations, contributing to a testament of younger self/selves that once existed. Confined in these translucent boxes are a wide array of objects from the site. While they may seem commonplace, their value for preservation is in the memories they symbolise. In this act of gathering them all together, Hanya Tinggal Kenangan is an ongoing work that maps out physical erasures while negotiating ways of remembering their narratives.

Narratives across different countries, cultures and spiritualities trace back the roots of humanity. A common element that runs through these myths is the creation of human beings from clay. In another vein, Web 2.0 marked a substantial shift in how we use the Internet. Migrating away from static web pages to a more participatory experience, we continuously construct virtual universes and multiple identities. The Internet knows who we are, where we belong, and where we are going. But when we are no longer here, what fragments will remain?

The notion of value attributed to these items has shifted because of the sense of reassurance they evoke - that we would be able to ride through this time of uncertainty if we possess them. In a similar vein, desire becomes flat because the items that we gravitate towards are attuned to our self-preservation.*SOLD* ︎ Exhibition ︎ flat concrete, paper pulp, acrylic paint2020 <img width="1000" height="1333" width_o="1000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ca9e84d5b39cb4866f4cbf4dae40d1cc248b20293430388c72d66abded7066ac/IMG_3595.jpeg" data-mid="111688477" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ca9e84d5b39cb4866f4cbf4dae40d1cc248b20293430388c72d66abded7066ac/IMG_3595.jpeg" /> <img width="1000" height="719" width_o="1000" height_o="719" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b3de0825b810e2d79391dd8e109e9428f6bb0c5d5bdd2335049b05370892edd7/IMG_3594.jpeg" data-mid="111688476" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b3de0825b810e2d79391dd8e109e9428f6bb0c5d5bdd2335049b05370892edd7/IMG_3594.jpeg" /> <img width="1000" height="750" width_o="1000" height_o="750" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/50bd53bc57dc1f6073f169aeb5c50f3a851ccdc8bb1c67dc0f9aed3e2cd08afa/IMG_3526-copy.jpg" data-mid="111688475" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/50bd53bc57dc1f6073f169aeb5c50f3a851ccdc8bb1c67dc0f9aed3e2cd08afa/IMG_3526-copy.jpg" /> https://neoartefacts.com/lambat-laun Fri, 18 Jun 2021 09:49:54 +0000 NEO_ARTEFACTS https://neoartefacts.com/lambat-laun Lambat Laun | FAZLEEN KARLAN Lambat Laun Lambat Laun is an exploration of materials and objects housed within 66 Spottiswoode Park Road. On the exterior, it is a historical shophouse structure, however on the inside, one is greeted with an assortment of personal paraphernalia. This juxtaposition portrays how the character of a site should also be considered in conserving a site and its heritage. It also questions the relationship between conservation bodies and the public, where there should be a more apparent partnership in retaining the memory of such sites The work is exposed to natural elements, and eventually the images will peel off. In leaving blank spaces, the essence behind these conserved sites fade into oblivion.
