Reared and roomed by dedicated owners for participation in pageants, ornamental chickens, including the impressive Malaysian breed of Ayam Serama, project a natural and seemingly effortless charisma rivalling that of human models. Ernest Goh’s award-winning portraits capture the full range of these beautiful birds’ personalities: puffed chests, ruffled plumage, bowed heads and all. By turns provocative, humorous and surprising, the photographs in the Cocks Headshots series will move you to view our humble feathered friends in an entirely different light.

About Ernest Goh

Ernest Goh’s passion for animals was nurtured as a young boy wading in the streams of his grandmother’s kampung village looking for fishes. He considers his passion for animals a natural extension of his interest in photographing the human condition. Fast paced global development has caused a sharp increase in animal-human interactions and better appreciation of nature will be crucial to both species in the future. In The Fish Book (Wee Editions, 2011) he presented a whimsical study of the ornamental fish in Singapore and in October 2012 he received the Discernment Award at the ICON de Martell Cordon Bleu photography awards for his portraits of fowls. He is also the creative director of The Animal Book Co; an outfit that works with animal welfare groups through photography.

Marjorie Doggett’s Singapore: A Photographic Record is an evocative interplay of photos and texts, a tribute to a pioneer woman photographer, Marjorie Doggett. Born in England, Doggett was a self-taught photographer who arrived in Singapore in early 1947, a city she would call home until her death.

Marjorie Doggett’s Singapore features many of Doggett’s unpublished photographs alongside newly restored images from Characters of Light, the first photo book to fully portray Singapore’s urban setting and architecture. Published in 1957, and reissued in 1985, the book was a pioneer: in its depiction of Singapore’s city and as the first local photographic book by a woman.

Accompanying these photos are Edward Stokes’s historical and personal texts. Together, the photos and narrative offer an entirely new presentation of Singapore, through the prism of Doggett’s life, inspiration, and methods. It is a fitting tribute to a woman whose talents contributed significantly to the preservation of Singapore’s historic architecture.

Korean photographer Yoon Seung Jun photographed half-finished buildings in South Korea – not ruins, and not buildings in the process of being constructed either, but buildings whose development has stopped (for one reason or another).

In Code Blue, Yoon records these buildings in the manner of a status report. The title itself is borrowed from the medical field, where it is used to assemble all available staff in the case of an urgent emergency. As if “Yoon wants to gather every one of us reading his photobook” in the (absurd) hope that these buildings can still be rescued.

The book itself – designed by Yoshihisa Tanaka – mirrors the state of the buildings: half-finished. The complicated fold-out layout of the pages not quite complete, the book not completely bound, the hardcover glued on but not yet hidden behind cloth – yet the book itself manages to tell of all the work that went into its creation, and its unfinished state does not detract from its beauty.

Includes an afterword by the artist and an essay by Japanese curator Hiroshi Suganuma in Korean, Japanese and English translation.
