Phenomenology of Light and Rhythms of the Earth is a project extended from Zen Teh’s residency project and exhibition at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin, Germany. As part of her residency project, she conducted walking workshops in Phnom Penh, Bangkok and Berlin. This project idea draws on her ongoing research on our relationship with urbanity in rapidly developing cities.
Zen Teh (visual art) and SueKi Yee (dance) as collaborators, are now interested in moving forward with research into Singapore’s urban context, delving deeper into how they can explore the discourses on light and urbanity through multidisciplinary means: soundscapes, multimedia data translation, movement, and tactile forms. This provides multiple entry points into the research as well as the interpretation, creation, and presentation of the data. Through artistic means, they are interested in opening up a space where people can take time to process and discuss their embodied perspectives on light and darkness, and how these ever co-existing elements are inextricably linked to life rhythms, memories, pollution, urban development, safety and surveillance, environmental changes, accessibility of energy, and volatile global political states.
