Heartlands

Nothing to photograph in Singapore?

Take a step back and let five up-and-coming photographers show you otherwise.

Transforming ordinary items found at, and close to home, to works of art, Heartlands - the photographic exhibition - will make you take a second look at the things around you.

See for yourself a diversity of photographic techniques that will amaze you. >From traditional black and white photographs, conventional toning and hand-colouring techniques, 'primitive' pin-hole camera photography, to modern digitally manipulated photos - there's always something surprising 'round the corner.

See Singapore heartlands differently through the eyes of these photographers, and discover something new yourself too.
