Undescribed #11

  • Guoco Midtown Public Art Wall

Undescribed is an annual platform dedicated to supporting emerging artists based in Singapore who have recently graduated from both local and overseas art institutions. The exhibition showcases works that challenge and redefine contemporary image-making practices, offering fresh perspectives on photography and the moving image in art today. Led by renowned artist Robert Zhao Renhui and DECK Director Gwen Lee, the programme nurtures fresh talent in the field.

On display until 30 August 2026 and in its 11th edition, Undescribed presents works by Cavin Lim, Jay Lim, Lydia Koh, Syed Abdullah and Zhixin Sheng.

Across this year’s Undescribed, photography is not presented as a fixed medium, but as something expanded. Images appear staged, embedded, sculpted, looped, fragmented, or spatially constrained. They move between document, construction, object, and system.

Rather than defining what photography is, the works test how images operate — how they hold memory, structure experience, or shape perception. In doing so, they register a shared attention to the conditions under which images are made and encountered today.
