Sidelined/Sightlines by filmmaker Gladys Ng begins with a shot of a plain white wall, and the slow movement from its surroundings — the shadow of leaves, passing traffic outside the building — leaves its mark of existence on it. Like the wall, Objectifs is a canvas (physically and metaphorically) that houses art and its makers. In this site-specific short film, she hopes to have a meditative effect that reminds us to be more conscious of the minute everyday moments, and for fans, friends and newcomers of Objectifs to be charmed by the magic that happens here. 

This work is a site-specific installation at the Objectifs store, as a part of Site Unseen — an adapted studio residency programme by Objectifs that invites artists and image makers to create site-specific image-based works for spaces outside of a conventional gallery. Through this, it proposes new ways of encountering everyday spaces that have been overlooked.
