A Pocket dictionary of things misunderstood by Genevieve Leong
A pocket dictionary of things misunderstood is the second of a series of pocket dictionaries.
About Genevieve Leong
Genevieve’s art practice attempts to visualise the intangible. Beginning with the immaterial, her work often combines text, image, found and made objects and the manipulation of space to create what she describes as “an almost physical image”. Her work seeks to shed new light onto her emotions, sensations, and realisations.

WAYSIDE TREES by Marvin Tang
Wayside Trees is a collection of “Trees” planted between 2018 and 2021 on roadsides in Singapore as a by-product of the construction of new major transport infrastructures.
The collection is part of a broader visual anthology, investigating the maintenance of a national narrative.
About Marvin Tang
Marvin Tang harnesses photography, moving image, and object-based installations to visualise social phenomena that simmer under, beyond, and in spite of government infrastructures and systems of control. His works often undermine the conventional representations of nature and question the linearity of historical narratives.

THINGS I REMEMBER by Gilles Massot
Things I remember : Singapore 1980s – 1990s : a world between worlds, a home away from home, at the close of a century is a photo essay by Gilles Massot who has observed life in Singapore in the past 40 years.
About Gilles Massot
Gilles Massot adopts a multidisciplinary process to establish links between narratives, occurrences and parts of the world. Based in Singapore since 1981, his book Bintan, Phoenix of the Malay Archipelago (2003) deeply influenced his artistic work, which now often deals with history and ethnology, while his conceptual concerns are in the theory of photography and the phenomenon of “recording” the revolutionary medium initiated.
His current pictorial project is centred on research about Jules Itier and the first photographs of Asia made in the 1840s, while his theoretical research explores the relations between the history of photography and that of quantum mechanics. A recipient of the French award Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, his work has been presented in over 50 exhibitions in France and Asia.

THE SAUCE #1 – SOIL zine by Foodscape Pages
An independent journazine on food, community and inspirations, The Sauce gathers voices from the foodscape in Singapore and the bioregion to document and highlight stories about and around food in relation to our selves, community, society, and the planet. The issue includes longform writings, interviews, photoessays, personal letters and an artist’s feature.
The inaugural issue focuses on Soil – a matter that is the foundation to growing nourishing food. Soil is not only biophysical; it is also social, and so we explore it – from tidbits on soil science and history, to personal journeys in composting, essays on our relationships with soil, an article on growing method, and interviews with farmers on their regenerative practices; this labour of love took a village in the making to complete, with beautiful illustrations and layout design.
About Foodscape Pages
Foodscape Pages is an independent online publication that celebrates original stories of food for people and planet.
Emerging during a time of transition and transformation, we hold space for stories to surface and new narratives to be created. As we experience one of the most polarised and disconnected times of our century, we look to nurturing and nourishing spaces where we can fully and safely express our inner voices that can guide us in weaving reconnections to ourselves, our communities and our planet.
Through writings of all forms, short videos, photography, podcasts published online, and long-form writing published in The Sauce Magazine, Pages aims to gather the seemingly scattered voices of the citizens actively engaged in finding alternative solutions from the ground up, realise the power of community to confront and face the current global climate crisis and co-create a world that is built on love, trust, peace and genuine relationships.
Foodscape Pages is an editorially independent initiative of Foodscape Collective.

Prints by Richard W J Koh – Tuas Hockey Stick (2014), 40 cm x 27 cm
Helicopter aerial photo of land reclamation for Tuas Mega Port.
Published in Over Singapore by Richard Koh.
About Richard Koh
Richard W J Koh is a Singaporean photographer who for most of his lifetime considers photography a mystical art where one harvests light which comes from Above. Formerly an R&D engineer in a tech MNC, since switching career in 2003 to professional photography, he has received several awards from global photography competitions, exhibited internationally, some representing Singapore and photographed for a range of clients from government to private sectors.
Taking photography literally to new heights, Richard photographed the ends of Singapore from the air by helicopter, for the book Over Singapore (launched in 2015, by Editions Didier Millet). In one of the most extensive aerial photography projects in Singapore, shots were taken from as high as 10000 feet above sea level, from both military and civilian helicopters. Rare aerial photos of surreal and unusual scenes of the extremities of Singapore are presented. Quaint illusionary faces can also be seen in the myriad of industrial and urban development interlaced with gardens and naturescapes. The blend of old and new in the city core, outlying islands with coral reefs and even the Red Lions in action, are also all seen from a new perspective.
