“Constructed Memories” by Marienne Yang
As a tribute to the generation of unsung individuals who contributed to Singapore’s growth in the 1970s and 80s, ‘Constructed Memories‘, is based on the light industrial terraced workshops constructed in the 1970s for various trades such as woodworking, motor workshops, engineering & metal works and funeral parlours. Due to future redevelopment plans, they will eventually be relocated to stack-up industrial complexes.
Spread over 14 locations, the artwork invites you to spot the snippets of everyday life at the terraced workshops – see if you can find all of them!
