Liminal Space
A documentary short film on the migrant population that congregates in Jalan Besar.
Jalan Besar is unique.
Over here, we have transient communities that have a long and storied history in this part of the city.
This documentary is titled 'Liminal Space' to look at the emotional state of South Asian workers in a stage of transit. This feature opens a window by showing these workers’ yearning for a sense of belonging in a foreign land.
Thanks to
Migrant Workers’ Centre for allowing us to tag along and cover their outreach programme and interview their ambassadors.
Aritz Design and Construction Pte Ltd for or allowing their staff members to be interviewed.

An audio experience on Jalan Besar through the eyes of 2 lovers. A textured locale that had gone through the different generations in time and yet uncanningly there are some similarities across time.
