‘This is Where’ by Sean Cham

Photo credit: Sean Cham

In the name of development and nation building, monuments and buildings quickly become obsolete and get facelifts, while old infrastructure are demolished to make way for new ones. The Singapore landscape and state-sanctioned icons keep changing, and the only constant seems to be construction sites all across the island.

Through a satirical documentation of construction sites in Singapore, This is Where brings to light construction work and migrant workers (in all industries) who have been relegated to abject status — hidden behind noise panels and safety barriers.

“The resulting self-portraits are a curious blend of photography and theatre, with Sean’s knack for crafting dramatic scenes complimenting his skill with a camera.”
~ Uday Duggal, Mothership on Yesteryears by Sean Cham
