An Afternoon with Simryn Gill

In Dalam (2001), Gill presents a photographic document of the material conditions of Malaysian homes through her survey of 258 living rooms. Djumini’s Relatives – Kerabat (2006) shows the economic and social dispositions of Indonesian households through a series of photographic portraits depicting families and their homes. Both artists’ practices have been shaped through the experiences of migration and diaspora, and their works may be regarded as extensions of their personal journeys and reflections. In their presentations, Gill and Djumini will outline the conceptual bases that informed their respective series and the artistic processes involved.

Buildings are basic features in the urban landscape and play a key role in our association with a place. In rapidly changing environments where existing buildings frequently make way for new developments, records of built architectures and the activities taking place within them are instrumental to our collective understanding and recollection of history and ‘place’. Join Nadeson Selvanthan in this discovery of recording heritage through photography.
