Installation is an extension of Shyue Woon's photographic practice. For every frame, he works towards making the photographer's invisible. The process reversed for designing the installation, he works towards synthesising the viewer's awareness back into the “frame”. 


DARK CITIES: Labyrinth

“We need the excuse of a fiction to stage what we truly are” Slaroj Zizek

The exhibtion borrows clues from last scene from Stanley Kubick’s The Shining (1980), a harrowing scene featuring Jack Torrance and Danny Torrance in an ominous hedge maze. In DARK CITIES: Labyrinth, there are four hidden ‘galleries’, offered as puzzles along the path. While navigating his/her way out of the Labyrinth, the viewer will create his/her own version of DARK CITIES.
