It's a preview, being performed tomorrow at ISEA2008!
RESIDUE investigates the ruins of the Syonan Jinja Shinto Shrine buried in the heart of MacRitchie Reservoir in Singapore, built by the Japanese during World War II. The physical remains and the surrounding forests are explored using multi-media. Data from sound waves, electromagnetic signals and radio frequencies are also collected and transformed into audio-visual content. Mapping the forgotten inhabitants of nature and reflecting on the silent subsistence of the Syonan Jinja.
Choy Ka Fai (Singapore) is a video artist and Associate Artistic Director of Theatreworks. RESIDUE is a collation of the on-going research for RESERVOIR, a Theatreworks’ production to be staged in their space 72-13 in August 2008.
