Esplanade Presents
23 May – 7 Sep 2025
Esplanade Mall Level 3 Community Wall
Open Plane invites a quiet attentiveness to light, shadow and movement as they unfold across Esplanade’s Community Wall. Through a process of photographing, layering and printing, lines and forms converge to create illusionistic spaces in shifting hues of blue, grey and black. The work reflects on how time lingers and leaves traces, shaping what—and how—we see.
Open and porous, the installation encourages a slower gaze—one that embraces subtle shifts, the passing of light, and the quiet presence of space.
Liu Liling
Liu Liling (b.1993, Singapore) works primarily with the photographic image to explore ideas of duration and experiential aspects of the medium, situating them with the installation site.
In her practice, she engages with various printing processes as a tool to arrive at a new picture plane, often suggesting points of departure, a coming into, and stasis drawn from felt experiences.
Recent exhibitions include After Light (2024), presented by Mizuma Gallery, Singapore. In the same year, Liu was also selected to participate in a residency at Onomichi City University, Hiroshima, Japan.
