Activating our itchy fingers
Welcome to Spacin’ Out, an intimate photo essay series that looks at the spaces where artists work and create. Each artist is given a film camera to document these quietly revelatory spots and moments, sharing their world through their own lens and words.

Some Club began as an artists’ residency first held at Geylang East Public Library. Rooted in wonder, wandering, community discussion and engagements, Some Club seeks to incite new perspectives about the ways we live and the places we live in.
As part of Esplanade's annual festival for young audiences, March On 2025, Some Club brought a collection of interactive installations to the Esplanade Lawn, aptly named Itchy Fingers 1, 2, 3!. Designed to spark curiosity through fundamental concepts of movement, sound and light, these installations are created with everyday objects and materials gathered from Singapore's urban and natural landscapes, including items like electrical fan parts, coconuts, plastic tarps and even a piano!
This edition of Some Club features core artists See Yee, Lynette, and Ferry, alongside artist assistants Jessica, Rachel, and Els. Here, they take us through the vignettes and memorable moments of creating this work.

A small Lynette against a gigantic factory. We were fortunate enough to work out of Lynette’s parents’ factory, a metal roofing factory at Tuas. Our workday was always determined by the sun. Golden hour always hit our workspace so beautifully and signalled to us the ending of a day. By the time it got close to 7pm, we would all pack up and go home because there was no more light.

“Deconstruction is a form of making.” – Lynette Quek, 2025
Also overheard during Itchy Fingers, “oh, this is what the inside of a piano looks like!”
