Art installation by DOKYU
Art installation in Shodoshima, Japan
In December 2024, DOKYU (see below) held an exhibit at MOCA HISHIO ANNEX in Shodoshima, Japan. The art installation, showcasing animals extinct from Singapore through specimen photographs, aimed to reconcile art and science and raise awareness about biodiversity research, natural history, and extinction. Utilising physical elements of the exhibit space (i.e., buildings that were part of Japan’s dated infrastructure), the installation provided a refreshing (and artistic) take on the lost biodiversity of Singapore.
