Our show at National Museum of Singapore right now on ArtAsiaPacific :) " the narrative of the Durian Tree, Bukit Panjang outlines proper etiquette and methodology (helmets) for collecting the spiky fruit. Other trees are accompanied by stories that touch on their rarity, conservation or impending destruction. Without such context, Zhao explains, there is no awareness or understanding of something as prosaic as a tree. Illuminated by local lore and oral histories, Zhao casts his stately tree-forms within a pre-nostalgic framework—as icons (perhaps future postcards) of a Singapore whose urban identity is continually transfigured, never to be replicated, and never to reoccur."
