Murals: Image, Performance, Narrative

Abstract

This paper will look at how murals about heritage and identity in Singapore offer the public a unique experience – an experience where the past (memory / the archive) and the present (space and place) are not only simultaneously encountered, but created and recreated through the performance of the image. The performance is enacted through the viewers who insert themselves into the murals, creating multiple and varied “new” images in the process. Taken together, these images create narratives that speak of constantly evolving relationships between the past and the present, and of evolving identities in the here and now.
