Project 37 was an exhibition by photographer Chow Chee Yong that charts the demolition process of Singapore’s National Stadium.

The photographer’s four-month documentation captures the last moments of the National Stadium as a tribute to the outdoor arena that had hosted innumerable National Day parades, worldwide sporting events and countless performances by local and international artistes. The National Stadium once united thousands of people in boisterous spirits and the photographic works of remembrance are at once an archive of a nation’s history and each individual’s story.

Kingdom’s Edge represents British photojournalist Richard Humphries’ eight year journey documenting Thailand’s deep south region. Through this collection of 79 colour photographs Richard, a fluent Malay speaker, examines the complex intricacies and subtle incongruities of daily life in South East Asia’s deadliest conflict. Moving away from the mainstream media’s monotonous coverage Richard has found a region that teems and bustles with life and culture. It is a region of trade and commerce, of young people and free wifi, of tea shops and markets. A place where tudong clad girls ride four on a motorbike, where twice a day people freeze on the spot to the sound of the national anthem, and where the call to prayer fills the air five times a day. It is a complex society that is both Muslim and Buddhist, Malay and Thai. It is both old and youthful, calm and restive. It is a place that has more in common with Kuala Lumpur than distant Bangkok. Through this visual narrative Richard presents a timely and alternative view from one of the world’s most underreported conflict zones, a largely forgotten pocket of territory at the farthest edge of the Kingdom of Thailand.

The book includes a foreword and captions by Richard Humphries and an introductory essay by Gerard McDermott.

About Richard Humphries

Richard is a photographer and published author. He spends his time between the UK and Malaysia. South East Asia has been Richard’s passion for a number of years now so he knows his Dim Sums from his Durians and his Laksas from his Longans. He has also lived in Indonesia, Thailand, and South Africa. Richard’s work is focused on exploring stories that are so often passed by in today’s monotonous mainstream media and he is especially interested in social and environmental related stories with a particular interest in identity and borders. When not not taking pictures or writing about himself in the first person he is spending time with his wife and their seven adopted cats that have traveled with them on all their adventures.

China-born photographer Sha Ying moved to Singapore in the early 90s, after living in Tokyo and Hong Kong. Curious about his new home, he wandered the streets after work, using photography to try to know the place better. While fascinated by Singapore’s multicultural society, Sha Ying was also particularly drawn to Chinatown. Now a Singapore Citizen, this is his first monograph.

The book features a selection of black and white photographs of Chinatown, Singapore, taken by Sha Ying from 1995 to 2002. The photos have documented the changes of the landscape of Chinatown due to urbanisation and how the people and spaces have been greatly affected by social development. Additionally, the book also includes an introduction by 林仁余 Lim Jen Erh and an interview with Sha Ying by Tay Kay Chin.

Through this project, Sha Ying hopes to share his observations, reflections and even rare insights of what he had seen and photographed of Chinatown of a past era. This project also hopes to create more awareness of the importance of recording our memories and our past through visual documentation so as to provide a historical reference for the future generations.

This book was launched at Sha Ying’s solo exhibition, which was held at Objectifs from April – May 2019.
