Part of a group show at ISLANDS Peninsula, Peninsula Shopping Centre, Singapore - 4D: Not Another Dimension
Featuring Artists Daniel Chong, Joel Chin, Rifqi Amirul Rosli, Shirly Koh.

The work explores concepts of space and place, presenting multiple interpretations of spatio-temporal dimensionalities. Dealing with texts, images, and materials found in or around Peninsula and Excelsior Shopping Centres, dated architectural elements, such as mirrored escalators and retro typefaces became inspirations for the work. In the stickers, abstracted typefaces and calligraphy transform into proxies for distant worlds and chance encounters of a parallel universe.

Rifqi Amirul Rosli is an artist in Singapore whose works often deals with the in-between of things: states of suspension, transition, liminality. He probes into the construction of personal boundaries and speculative states that defines one’s purpose and sentimentality towards a place. He describes the personal connection one has to a physical, or an imagined place, which may not necessarily be a typical home, but could relate to a sense of familiarity, a tradition or a regular activity that becomes a part of one’s identity.
