Box Body

What contemporary boxes have we trapped ourselves in? Box Body is a site-specific 3D video artwork showcased on the iconic Ten Square billboard in Singapore, viscerally embodying the constriction that defines many urban lives. For a few nights in one of the busiest and fastest-growing metropolitan spaces in the world, a giant crouched, wedged in a building, contemplating their entrapment and ours too.

As part of the 2023 ART-ACT Festival during Singapore Art Week, we presented our very first site-specific 3D media piece in collaboration with several specialists. Inspired by conversations with locals during our four-month stay in Singapore as part of a graduate program exchange, the film invites onlookers to confront the oppressive structures that frame our lives, urging reflection on the spaces we inhabit and the invisible forces that shape them.
