Untitled: Darren Soh & Vibhor Yadav

A curation that brings two contemporary photographers from different countries together, this room is a temporary exhibit that explores the connection between the past and the present landscape of coastal towns. The viewer is invited into a space that dissects the two cities of Mumbai and Singapore, which come from similar roots, and which have grown into trade centres by experiencing a fast vertical growth in terms of cityscape and economy.

Both Darren and Vibhor use voyeuristic lenses to explore a similar approach of documenting these metropolitan cities, so to say, creating juxtapositions between social building blocks when viewed from a distance versus when inspected up close. The idea is also to have a striking juxtaposition of the present and future of those cities with the past, which, in our case, is seen through the windows of the room.
