singaplural: Singaplural is a tilt-shift perspective on the recent Singapore General Elections. Singaporeans from all walks of life — regardless of race, language and religion — come together to attend and listen to various political rally hotspots all over Singapore—in what is a contest of the hearts and minds of citizens. Though most Singaporeans have little interest in politics, these photographs depict otherwise. Close to 50,000 people were reported to have attended such rallies. Singapore’s ruling People’s Action Party swept back to power and secured 81 of 87 seats in parliament but the six opposition seats lost were the highest since independence in 1965 for this young nation.
Using a perspective control lens, it created a miniaturised and alternative perspective to the elections. For Singaplural, these common, and sometimes overlooked, spaces have combined a plurality of people, perspectives and ideas converging into one location during this elections —
Worker’s Party Election Rally. Yishun Stadium.
