Symbiosis

Centered around a shared interest in how human life is enmeshed with the natural world, Syaiful Aulia Garibaldi (Indonesia), Zen Teh (Singapore) and Zulkifli Lee (Malaysia) present works that delve into entanglements between the human and non-human. The exhibition explores ideas of tension, balance and the paradoxes that exist in our relationship with the world around us.

The artists engage with living organisms, found materials and the workings of natural phenomena in their artistic processes. By sharing agency with nature, the narratives and histories embedded within these materials are given the space to surface, unveiling the latent potential in them to uncover facets of other living realms that are often overlooked. Marks and traces of these engagements manifest in installations, paintings, moving images and photography. The works speak beyond the places they came from, and reflect on how humans can relate and respond to nature in a manner fostered on understanding, collaboration and co-dependence.

Held in conjunction with the exhibition, hear from the artists as they share on their practices and the processes of conceptualising and creating the works for Artist Insights on Symbiosis.
