No greens in nature, 2020.

Stills from a single-channel video. 04:59mins.

Installation view: NTU CCA Ideas Fest 2020, NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore, Singapore, 2020.

Created during IdeasCity Singapore residency co-curated by New Museum & NTU CCA. Still photography credits to Dat Vu.

What does nature mean? Why do we feel compelled to discuss climate change despite realistic urgency? In a residency themed 'Solidarity with Nature', the artist diverted from the programmed eco-exploration into questions of loss and anxiety, life cycles, rituals, therapy and bonding as a response to the unanticipated death of her great grandma during the stay in Singapore.

Email. Instagram. Bio.

there is no humans in
the city, but weeds
and worlds that they etch.
I keep an internal memo

of the Weedists. Perhaps

in station metric hide

a few quasi-immigrants.

Sometimes I hear the

greenhouse weeps.
Perhaps there is no
greens in nature?

But in happy hours,
I dreamt of free riding
the Mobike to T.A.M.,
landing on the red moon,
in my astronaut helmet.

Feel good flesh zero

at twenty-five o'clock.

Just some pillow talk,

or minor linguist Icsulcer.

et ce te ra, et ce te ra . . .
