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.

New World's End

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.

Experiences

Experiences is a documentary that follows the stories of tenants in Peninsula Shopping Centre. A quaint mall with an eclectic mix of tenants and one of the earliest shopping malls in Singapore. 

Peninsula Shopping Centre is a space to revisit the past, to enjoy the present and experience a revival all at once.

Experiences is birthed from an Artist Residency programme under Dbl Spce www.dblspce.com , an arts incubation space based in Peninsula Shopping Centre itself. The documentary is produced with 4 months of prep and ground work, with a 3 week on-site residency in Dbl Spce, Peninsula Shopping Centre.
