TALK: Backstories from "Talking Leaves" and "Pulp Vol. III"

  • ArtScience Museum 6 Bayfront Avenue Singapore, 018974 Singapore (map)

An intimate sharing by artist Shubigi Rao of the people, events and narratives featured in her film and book.

Pulp III marks the midpoint of Rao’s ongoing decade-long project Pulp, which explores the history of book destruction and its impact on the futures of knowledge. The exhibition features her film, Talking Leaves, through daily screenings at ArtScience Cinema, and presents her book, Pulp III: An Intimate Inventory of the Banished Book, Volume III of V (Pulp Vol. III), as well as Being a Brief Guide of the Banished Book, a drawing of a phylogenetic tree.

Filmed over five years in various locations including Venice and Singapore, Talking Leaves highlights the tales of those at the forefront of the effort to save books and libraries through personal confidences and elegiac reflections, as well as incendiary documentary and mytho-poetic languages.
