trace


  
Trace, is an artist's book of Susie Wong's exhibition of the same name, from 9th to 20th Jan 2009 at the Substation, Singapore. The exhibition is an inquiry into the meaning of death and provokes an examination of the slippages of time and space between presence and absence. From one into the other, we are left with only a trace – whether it is a memory or a corpus. It is only with tracing, through photographs or visceral recollections, that we attempt to find and connect with what had been here or, as this exhibition has revealed, what is always at risk of loss.

Trace, the book, is a wish to seize that moment of recognition.
