Singapore

My first contribution to Phases Magazine was published this morning. I picked Singaporean photographer Nguan, who’s released the second edition of his book How Loneliness Goes.

Singapore by Nguan 

“"Singapore” is a portrait of living and longing in the city. The tender and lyrical tone used in the series is intended to mask themes of discombobulation and disconnection. Each picture is meant to seem simultaneously naïve and disquieting, so as to reflect the predicament of an adolescent nation torn between her future and the past.“ -Nguan

Nguan is a photographer from Singapore. He attended Northwestern University in Illinois and graduated with a degree in Film and Video Production. His photographs, all coated in a filmy layer of pastel hues, capture the tender, yet powerful, dialogue of urban spaces. Each image softly focuses on isolation and separation, but still retains a sense of nostalgia and quiet comfort.

There's no better way to spend a Friday night than to let Deon Toh's singular voice and lush soundscapes fill our ears and hearts at the launch of his second album, Oceans. Congrats, Deon! We can't wait to share his story in our upcoming issue of HYPE.
