ART ENCOUNTERS

Petals Fall, Now and Then by Chloë Manasseh

21 Aug - 3 Oct 2021, 11am-8pm daily, Bugis+ Outdoor Plaza

In its fifth edition, Art Encounters travelled to Bugis Town (comprising Bugis Junction, Bugis+ and Bugis Street) featuring a multi-sensorial installation by Chloë Manasseh that explored the strength of the imagination, the relationship between individual and collective memory, and identity anchored within spaces. Offering an escape to nature in the midst of an urban landscape, Petals Fall, Now and Then granted viewers a new perspective, and afforded the subconscious a multitude of possibilities of what was, is and can be.

Two containers painted on-site - a studio container creating an immersive environment with texture, scent (in collaboration with scent by six) and sound ; a gallery container with artworks painted on-site by the artist and a community canvas for everyone to paint on.
