Censorship . 2006

Censorship (2006)

Theme : Media sieving through the contents

Singapore Art Show National Arts Council (NAC) SG.



An interactive installation. Placed within a historical film landmark in Singapore, the Capitol theatre is one of the first cinemas to be opened in Singapore.

 

The Billboards are interactive and showcases various film clips of the 60’s. While the billboard is flipping through these images, a word is superimposed on the images to suggest that the film has been cut, chopped, censored by media authorities and in doing so, is limiting or cutting the contents of the film. This enables the censorship boards to portray what they intend the audience to see.
