SEASON 1: UNSTILL LIFE
From a parasite’s hot takes on nationhood, to a goat’s earnest address, to the reflections of most definitely not the Singapore River. These could be spontaneous conversations. Or they could be the strangest stories never told. Each recorded in the heart of the National Gallery, for the theatre of your mind.
All to answer one question – if art could speak, what would it say?
Would it feel anxious from the weight of our eyes? Or certain of its own significance? Would it know its creators intimately? Or struggle to understand them, the way every child struggles to understand a parent? Would it relive the past or dream of the future? Listen, and find out for yourself.
