Screen Green

"On September 18, during the exhibition’s opening reception, Ho Rui An performed Screen Green, a newly commissioned lecture performance for A Luxury We Cannot Afford. Inspired by a screen capture of the current Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s National Day Rally speech in 2014, Ho tracks how green screens are speculative cinematic spaces used for the projection of possible futures (and as filtering devices to screen out futures undesirable by the State).

Ho Rui An is an artist and writer working in the intersections of contemporary art, cinema, performance, and theory. He writes, talks, and thinks around images, investigating their sites of emergence, transmission, and disappearance. He currently lives and works between New York and Singapore." - https://www.para-site.art/exhibitions/a-luxury-we-cannot-afford/
