Since 2013 Shubigi Rao has been working on ‘Pulp: A Short Biography of the Banished Book’, a decade long film, book and visual art project about the history of book destruction, censorship and other forms of repression, as well as the book as a symbol of resistance. This involves visiting public and private collections, libraries and archives globally that served as flashpoints in history, collecting fragments, ephemera, anecdotes, buried secrets and piecing together (through the film, book and artworks) a composite chronology of the conjoined literary and violent trajectories of our species.

Written in the Margins is a catalogue published in conjunction with the exhibition Written in the Margins at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien. This exhibition was the first time where Shubigi had presented material from her ongoing Pulp project. This catalogue mainly concentrates on research and work made during her residency at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin. From browse-able short, unedited film clips selected from hundreds of hours of interviews filmed during her travels, to photographs and texts (including the first book from the project), as well an inked ‘guide-map’ to the project, the space suggested a reading room within the precincts of the gallery. This way the individual created their own form of burrowing into the interconnecting issues behind print, press, language shifts and illegality of texts.

Since 2013 Shubigi Rao has been working on ‘Pulp: A Short Biography of the Banished Book’, a decade long film, book and visual art project about the history of book destruction, censorship and other forms of repression, as well as the book as a symbol of resistance. This involves visiting public and private collections, libraries and archives globally that served as flashpoints in history, collecting fragments, ephemera, anecdotes, buried secrets and piecing together (through the film, book and artworks) a composite chronology of the conjoined literary and violent trajectories of our species.

Following the release of the first volume in 2016, the second volume from this project was launched at The Wood for the Trees — an exhibition held at Objectifs in August 2018 that showcased the documentation and material from the ongoing Pulp project.

The Wood for the Trees functions as a visual bibliography of the texts, people, and sites encountered during the project. One of its aims is to explore the connective tissue that exists between artists, writers, printers, academics, bibliophiles, shadow library activists, librarians and other cultural custodians, and various defenders and supporters of print and open access to knowledge.

Pulp II: A Visual Bibliography of the Banished Book was awarded the Singapore Literature Prize 2020 -Creative Nonfiction in English.

This print is from Passing Time, an exhibition presented by Objectifs that featured the work of Singaporean photographer Lui Hock Seng (b. 1937). Like many photographers of that period, Mr Lui’s subjects of interest ranged widely from streetscapes, to portraits, from architecture to industry. The images are exemplary of pictorial photography, the dominant photography art practice at the time, and provide insight into the beginnings of modern-day Singapore.
