Then Zhao may instruct his camera to follow the creatures so they could take pictures and videos of them from his point of view.
” Sometimes, when I see the species from my window, I’ll move down or period down to go and shot them”, he said.
Zhao installed motion-capture and body heat cams in the forest to observe the animals that had made it its house. The little ecosystem that survives resiliently on the fringes of a built environment inspired him.
SEEING FOREST , – A TRIPTYCH
His Seeing Bush museum is made up of all the photos and videos he’s meticulously captured over the past few years.
Between the extra forests at Gillman Barracks and Bukit Panjang, Zhao came across more than 60 different animals and their interactions with the natural world. While he was looking through the trees, he also discovered pieces of military installations left behind by immigrant laborers as well as remnants of Japanese and European colonial buildings.
” Seeing Bush is an accumulation of movies, pictures, materials and kind of debris that I have accumulated and collected from extra trees. And all the various pieces of art are just minor reports that I’ve collected or kind of encountered while researching trees, according to the completed artist who has appeared in exhibitions all over the world in Busan, Gwangju, Singapore, Taipei, Jakarta, and Sydney.
