How do the artists and their communities relate to this transformation? Architectural Landscapes: SEA in the Forefront unravels these negotiations by focusing on four SEA countries \u2013 Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore.<\/p>\n

Kim Hak and Sok Chanrado in their digital works address the alarming rapidity of urbanization in Cambodia by engaging with local communities that either still reside in or remember the iconic buildings now being demolished or repurposed. Prateep Suthathongthai and Chulayarnnon Siriphol respectively in their video and light installations, reconfigure Thai history by employing sacred geometry and symbols that have been adopted as Thai architectural emblems.<\/p>\n

Landscapes video installation by Vietnamese artist Nguyen Trinh Thi employs landscape images of present-day Vietnam that stand as quiet witnesses to history, while Into the Sea 3-channel installation offers Le Brothers\u2019 social commentary on the transformation of natural landscapes in Vietnam as a price to pay for economic development.<\/p>\n

Through Donna Ong\u2019s video and mixed-media installation we observe how Singapore has embraced a meticulously planned urbanization over the years thus transforming its local villages and plantations into gleaming skyscrapers and highways.<\/p>\n
