5/5

Dive into a captivating visual spectacle that explores imperfection from both the lens of design and as a social issue at GIFFEST, part of the Singapore Night Festival. This exhibition showcases more than 80 animated artworks created by local and global artists, serving as a poignant reminder of the chokehold perfectionism has on our culture and, conversely, the allure of the raw, unrefined aspects of human expression.

During its final weekend, GIFFEST will introduce 'Rift-scapes,' a specially crafted installation by Singaporean light artist Flex and sound designer Axel Serik. This immersive experience envelops the audience in visuals that react to sound, guiding them on a journey across the past, present, and future through ever-changing landscapes that incorporate elements of Middle Road, the National Design Centre, Bugis, and the Singapore River, among other highlights of "Singapore, the Great Port City."

RIFTSCAPES (2023) for GIFFEST III by EYEYAH! is located at GIFFEST at National Design Centre, 111 Middle Road
