Singapore Snaps (SG Snaps) is a relational art project seeking to create 3 animations with collected photographs contributed by members of the public, such as yourself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
It was inspired by the fragility of memories and the innate human need for preservation. Photographs, in their printed form, are susceptible to the elements of the environment. As time passes, ink and paper lose their integrity and disintegrates, slowly but surely. As this happens, the memory intended to be captured by the photographer, becomes vulnerable, and without proper care and steps to preserve these photographs, this form of memory will be lost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Join us on our journey to preserve memories through the process of digitising, and to collect stories from the photo Contributors, in turn allowing our project to uncover the thread that weaves the unseen fabric of themes that hold us together, as an individual and as a unit of society, through time.<\/p>\n<\/div>
