Ang Song Nian (Singapore) Hanging Heavy on My Eyes Gallery 1

In response to the title theme for of the Singapore Biennale 2016, An Atlas of Mirrors, Hanging Heavy on My Eyes looks at the recurring and prolonged haze experienced in Singapore and surrounding regions, due to severe air pollution caused by the increased frequency of forest fires in Indonesia. Based on the Ang’s collection of average recordings of particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) data, the exhibition revisits the artist’s experience with the discomfort and unease of reduced visibility – a result of conditions that have been created by human beings’ continuous attempts to control, intervene in and manipulate landscapes and the environment according to our narrow-minded agenda.
