What makes a photographer tick? Do “the perfect shot” or “the decisive moment” exist? In Image Makers, we uncover the processes and motivations behind internationally renowned photographers from Singapore. Through interviews and reviews of their works, we attempt to get to the heart of the work and their approach to art creation. The series of short documentary films features the following photographers: John Clang (dir. Kirsten Tan), Darren Soh (dir. Chai Yee Wei), Chow Chee Yong (dir. Pok Yue Weng), Robert Zhao Renhui (dir. by Jow Zhi Wei), Ho Hui May (dir. by Liao Jiekai), Tay Kay Chin (dir. by Wong Chen-Hsi) and Russel Wong (dir. by Jean Qingwen Loo).

Good News from the Skies

Good News from the Skies

Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
