Crossing Bridges Exhibition for the P.I.X - Photo Imaging X-change 2007

Delighted!

One of my pictures which I took in Hong Kong in 2005 when I joined Crossing Bridges was selected to be exhibited for P.I.X - Photo Imaging X-change 2007. P.I.X. is a conference specially designed for photography, cinematography and digital imaging professionals, as well as amateurs and enthusiasts. It will be held concurrently with Imaging Expo Singapore trade exhibition from 1-4 November 2007. Their website is P.I.X.

I will be one of the 7 local photographers whose work will be shown. Other exhibited works will from photographers from Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia. Hewlett Packard will be sponsoring the prints.

It has been a while since I catch up with the rest of the guys from Crossing Bridges, especially my hotel mates:- Richard, Sean and the other guy which I cannot remember the name but looking like the DJ Desmond Koh.=p I meant we did share this really really small bedroom.
I wonder how they are now...

Another photo which I like from my Hong Kong Series (2005) but this is not the picture selected for the exhibition. You got to visit P.I.X.(:P) and I heard that the print will be BIG! It will be 24 inch on the longest side from what I heard!

Asia-Europe Forum for Young Photographer 2007

I applied for the Asia-Europe Forum for Young Photographer 2007 recently and I was indeed very excited to be selected to represent Singapore for this year’s forum and the forum will be held at Cork & Dublin, Ireland from 18-24 November 2007!
Of course I am a little STRESSED up as well when I realized that I am the only Singaporean photographer going.

Do you remember the monorail?

Artist Statement - Edited by Kong Yen Ling

An empty shell, some would say, but to me, it is living flesh and blood.

These portraits are a tribute of my remembrance towards the National Stadium.

Throughout its lifetime, it had seen 18 Singapore's birthdays,

housed tens of thousands of joyous party goers,

and drenched up an infinite amount of the nation's hopes, disappointments, memories and history.

Against the tide of time, it had since wizened with age - its closure a symbol of its passing.

Yet, it feels vaguely awake, swirling in shallow breadths of a tingling nostalgia.

I can still feel its spirit.

Perhaps it has been interlaced with the piece of sky and the blanket of lights which it laid under,

drifting beneath the wisps of clouds,

peeking from behind the rays of light,

dancing among the specks of stars.

Without having to subscribe to the rites of ephemerality, it will certainly linger on,

outliving the mortality of its architecture.

My first solo exhibition! Do come by and support ya!
