Film Screening: Repatriating the Object with No Shadow
Event date: 27 February 2020
Event times: 18:00 to 20:00
Event location: Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art.
Repatriating The Object With No Shadow: Along, Against, Within and Through is part of a larger body of work, which explores the extraction, and creation of signs and significations through objects, archival events, and stories found in the collections of museums (Singapore, Malaysia and London) and the pages of colonial accounts. The video works arise from a discussion around the museumized object and the museum as a method. The guiding principle being a form of aesthetic cannibalism, speculative in its method and oscillating between formats, which reveal the contingent rules and contextual considerations of the colonial museum in Malaya as it came to be formed in the 19th century. Repatriating The Object With No Shadow… Gestures towards the encyclopedic or comprehensive in its structure, taking the form of a series of re-visiting, re-use, re-enactment and repatriation of artifacts and writings from, and referenced to colonial collecting in Southeast Asia.
Repatriating The Object With No Shadow: Along, Against, Within and Through was first shown in 2013 in NUS Museum Singapore as part of Come cannibalize us, why don’t you? / Datang mengalih kita, mengapa tidak anda?
