ZOOMING OUT
Artist: Dio Wong
Artwork Location: Mammal Enclosure (near Education and Exhibition Centre)
Artist Dio Wong is most interested in the fauna at the Gardens. To him, those animals are living in a make-believe wonderland just like modern-day people living within their comfort zones, satisfied with their existence and oblivious of the constraints by invisible rules. People can only regain their freedom of thought by remaining curious about their surroundings and questioning things that happen around them. Wong proposes a means to understanding the relationship between the city and the Gardens by extrapolating concepts he formulated through long on-site observations to various issues in life and society nowadays. Through the two sets of video installations Wong has installed, visitors may discover a new perspective on their current lives from the interactive process.
