POLITICAL LANDSCAPES (Singapore, 2011)
In Singapore the political campaigns are generally short. In the ten days running up to an election political parties organise mass meetings, where they hammer away at their aims and ideals. Many public spaces, from sports stadium to parks, become political theatres. The nature of the gatherings – which also offer free entertainment – brings out tens of thousands of people. Darren Soh focuses not on the candidates, but on the locations themselves.
