‘Singaporelang – What the Singlish?’ is a photography series that functions like a Visual Singlish Dictionary, viewers get to ‘Guess the Singlish’ and give meaning to each scene photographed. It is akin to playing Charades, via each viewer filling-in-the-blanks on what each environmental portrait entails to him or her. More often than not, the ‘answers’ are not contained to just a single Singlish catchphrase for each photo illustration.
As part of National Reading Day, we also showcased the book “Singaporelang – What the Singlish?”at Toa Payoh Library on 30 July 2016. Big gratitude!
