What happens when different realms – past and present, virtual and physical, earthly and spiritual – converge? How do they speak to each other, and what is passed on at the points of transition? This exhibition explores how these intersections shape belonging, connection and identity through the lens of memory.
Artists Boedi Widjaja, Torlarp Larpjaroensook and Tromarama draw on personal and collective memories embedded in the body, language, place, custom and shared experience. They approach memory not as a static repository of the past, but a living force carried within us and continually re-interpreted. Spread across Nanyang Technological University, the works engage in dialogue with the sites they inhabit. Viewers are invited to linger and attune to the surrounding environments and the stories that are told through the works.
The search for grounding and connection rests at the core of human experience. Memory lives in the practices we inherit, stories passed down through generations and relationships we form with the spaces we inhabit. On the cusp reflects how the bonds we forge – with one another and the world – are closely interconnected with what, and how, we choose to remember.
