Singaporelang — What the Singlish
Singaporelang — What the Singlish
Singaporelang — What the Singlish? is a photography series by Singaporean photographer Zinkie Aw, that functions like a Visual Singlish Dictionary.
At this interactive exhibition, viewers get to ‘Guess the Singlish’ and give meaning to each scene photographed. It is akin to playing Charades, via each viewer filling-in-the-blanks on what each environmental portrait entails to him or her.
Accompanying these photographs is an attempt to piece together some dictionary terms of this peculiar Singapore English dialect, thereby questioning the idea of what, or who really makes a dictionary.
