Allan Sekula and Noël Burch, Empty cargo ship, The Forgotten Space (2010), film still.
NTU CCA Singapore presents Fish Story which will be shown for the first time in Southeast Asia. This is a comprehensive review of the late US artist, Allan Sekula, a renowned photographer, theorist, photography historian and critic. Fish Story, one of Allan Sekula’s major works created over a five-year period, explores the historical, sociopolitical, aesthetic, and literary connections of far-flung port cities such as New York, Rotterdam, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Seoul. Fish Story looks at the ocean as a key point of globalisation and engages directly with the history of Singapore as a major historical port in colonial and post-colonial times. In addition, The Forgotten Space, a film essay by Allan Sekula and Nöel Burch will premiere during the exhibition.
