First Generation, Chong Fah Cheong, 2000 bronze commission: Far East Organization and Singapore Tourism Board location: Singapore River, behind Fullerton Hotel « go previous go to next » go back to list

Interesting contrast: the sculpture empodies a behavior that would not be possible in this place, in so many ways. Hygiene, public order, etc...Chong Fah Cheong has shown himself interested in such questions before - he did a series of sculptures that could be read as ironic representations of Singapore's public benches.
