Tactility Studies:
Pandemic Traces


Created for the Singapore Exhibition at Prague Quadrennial 2023 as part of Secretive Thing's Renewed Vision






SYNOPSIS


Renewed Vision is home to four works, Tactility Studies: Pandemic Traces, re:walk Telok Ayer, Pok! and WINDOW. Each work sought to connect with audiences in different ways throughout the duration of the pandemic. With curated objects related to their works for the audience to take home as a reminder of the unspoken connections and their tactile nature that we need to navigate and re-examine in our new post-pandemic world.

Renewed Vision seeks to explore the ways in which we have sought to connect in an age of isolation and social distance. Designed in the form of a warehouse, it places the audience in the role of a packer interacting with objects.







As one of the first countries to be paralysed by the pandemic in 2020, Singaporeans had to adapt quickly to the changes. New restrictions were imposed day by day, and soon everything ground to a halt during the lockdown. The arts community had to rapidly scale up its efforts to adapt and redesign shows in accordance with the ever-changing security measures.

Even as new digital spaces emerged to bring the performing arts into the homes of our audiences, we were constantly aware of the unknown, of what might happen next. And as we come to the end of the pandemic, this heightened awareness of the unknown informs our sensitivity in navigating contact again.
