This two-channel video installation recomposes one of Tan Pin Pin’s earlier work with previously unseen archival footage, placing their distinct temporalities in conversation. On one screen, Inuka, Singapore's first polar bear born in captivity, circles within a faux Arctic habitat, highlighting the meeting of biological rhythm and constructed setting. On the other, 80km/h (2004) holds a single-take view from the passenger seat along the Pan Island Expressway, its steady 80km/h pace registering the city's regime of flow and efficiency. The projections are cast onto translucent screens held within a parallel frame; the frame fixes viewing distance, carries the overlap and serves as a viewing device that allows the bear's cyclical motion and the expressway's linear view to be perceived together as a composite. Rather than prescribe a singular reading, the work sets two systems in view and lets their timings meet, overlap and drift. – Selene Yap, Curator, Singapore Biennale 2025.
