Review from August 2006 issue of ICON《风华》magazine.
About Me
- Name: Eye é City-A Visual Account of the Last 24 Hours
- Location: Singapore
As the world moves rapidly, economy progresses, changes become inevitable. Have you pondered about what is a city without a past? Or have you retraced your footsteps? What memories does the city hold? Since 2002, enthusiasts have been traversing Singapore on the last day of each year capturing images images of the island and her people with their cameras. From the heartlands to the nature reserves, from Chinatown to Orchard Road, participants visited all corners of the island in search of their subjects. From the images submitted, 100 that best represents each year were selected for publication and a month-long exhibition at the National Library. The objective of this project is to preserve the collective memories of Singapore through the eyes of people from all walks of life, be they foreign or local. It is a collective effort to document humanism and history of the city. It is taking an interest in and caring for the city 有人说新加坡是一个没有回忆的城市。随着经济命脉的跳动，城市的景观也迅速变化， 记忆也随着时光流逝。“城市的眼睛“ 是希望通过摄影的媒介，反映城市的景观变迁，记录城市人文的发展，集合成大家共同的回忆。源于2002年，活动没有设定题目，也不设奖品或排名。参加者在12 月31 日零时开始，到当天的23时59分，在新加坡任何角落，拍摄他们认为值得记录的影象。 每年刊登及展出的100 张照片，除反映大家关注的社会事件，也有让大家共鸣的个人感情抒发，因而引起城中人对于城市人事物的关爱。
