Project Statement: Singapore Participation for Displacement
Displacement is a challenge with spatial and structural concerns in architecture, cityscapes and urbanization; especially in the perspective from the cities' denizens; identity / awareness / adaptability of the self within the urbanized circumstance; the human entity in the technological world; technologies to keep a city running, in information, and in communication; and the transitory conditions of city-features that are at once concrete and static, and at the same time prone to dilapidation and demolition.

The project proposal is contextualized for the Singaporean artists. The pre-eminent factor in this project is the translocation of the exhibitions from Bandung to Singapore. This relates strongly on the idea of duality from the two cities, in differences and similitude. The artists are contested with universal concepts dealing with the body or people, structure and space in the thematic scheme of the dual cities.
- Urich Lau

Why Bandung-Singapore?
Displacement is a video project. To create an illusion in real spaces and encourage personal, stimulating memories and restructure irritation.
The project is to investigate the similarities/differences between space within specific country or region and to realise this can be as contrasting and culturally diverse as comparing two countries/cities; to investigate the cityscape, media and communicate feelings of displacement in their own area, and construct a displaced space throughout city as new spaces."
