English Finest. Collaboration with Fredrick Sarkozy (2006)
Theme: Not everything, quite as it seems
Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore. Singapore Biennale 2006
When a Child’s toy is not innocent anymore.
This work identifies the common child’s toy and transforms it into a weapon. The work does not educate children about the usage of common alphabets, but rather introduces danger and harm into these alphabets. For instances, B is for BOMB instead of Ball. This makes the children expose to these negative information at a young age.
Each alphabet illustrates its negative counterparts. Not only with the pronunciation of the word / alphabet, but also for example, the sounds that a bomb, terrorist, or missiles make.
