Tracing Memories – Rochor MRT Project
Tracing Memories is a project executed for Rochor MRT station in Singapore which opened in December 2015.
The artwork was done under LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore. The team behind the making of the work consists of: Betty Susiarjo, Andreas Schlegel, Luke Heng, Chen Shitong, Chelsea Zhao Xin, Ronald Cheah and Xiuting Yang.
These local vintage objects, acquired from The Thieves Market in Rochor, are featured deliberately to convey the impression of a motherboard. The final piece was executed in three styles of image making, from traditional pencil drawing to monoprint and modern digital drawing. The artwork attempts to examine the binary reflections of what Singapore’s youths share, while living in a contemporary city: a fascination with technological advancement through the fastest gadgets and gear, as well as sentimentality for history, tradition and memorabilia.
The artwork is a permanent installation and can be viewed today in Rochor MRT station, Singapore.
