Light to Night Singapore 2024: Reimagine

The 8th edition of Light to Night Singapore: Reimagine takes festival-goers on a journey of unexpected and unconventional exploration, using inspiration from history, origin, and artworks from the National Collection to present a multitude of sensorial experiences for all.

National Gallery Singapore’s façade projection featuring Temple of Love by Arahmaiani, Wayang Merdeka, and Milosh. Rooted in an ecological narrative of destruction and healing, the artists worked with various communities to depict the rejuvenating powers of Mother Nature.

Location: National Gallery Singapore, Façade

Symphony of Order. Deviating from the conventional use of illustration, this projection artwork immerses viewers in a 360-degree dining scene featuring 12 characters, to explore the intricate interplay of “order” and “unspoken laws” through film.

Seven human figure sculptures will “float” mid-air, with one figure seated on a pedestal within the Atrium. Inspired by the biblical notion of rapture, the act of ascending to a realm beyond our own, the eight life-sized wire sculptures represent the transition from the earthly to the spiritual to symbolise a surrender to the divine.

Wings of Change. An inflatable artwork, magnifying her iconic saga seed into a six-metre installation illuminating the festival at sunset. Addressing the vanishing saga trees, the piece urges action for sustainability and preservation, inviting festival-goers to engage in climate activism. Encouraging participation, Kumari invites audiences to circulate clockwise around the seed, promoting living in the moment and fostering positive change.

Festival-goers can make a pit stop at the festival village which will be fully pedestrianised for the return of the ever-popular Art x Social, with an assortment of food and beverage options.

Winter Sonata, Summer Mookata. Festival-goers will be treated to a surreal and mind-bending journey that narrates ecological challenges, coupled with an exploration of spiritual consciousness and trippy visual wonders.

Inspired by the pixelated graphics of video games, 8-bit Word Cloud invites festival-goers to uncover the interplay of words and imagination by searching for hidden letters scattered throughout the Civic District’s six art benches to complete the poem.

Passage was inspired by objects found in the Asian Civilisations Museum, including ceramic bowls from the Tang Shipwreck, as well as iconic blue porcelain and Peranakan ceramics. The colourful motifs and delightful patterns within each bowl playfully showcase Singapore’s metamorphosis from a trading port to an independent city. Generations of Singaporean stories are retold as different pairs of hands pass these bowls on, from one person to another, symbolising the rich yet immeasurable history of Asia.

Embroidered Landscapes. Drawing inspiration from 街戏, or jie xi, a type of Chinese Opera that is fading from the streets of Singapore, SISTRUM draws inspiration from its costumes and music, to create new cityscapes combining vernacular and contemporary art forms.
