Synopsis:

In 'Sub/merged', artist Finbarr Fallon responds to the site of Singapore Art Museum, located in Singapore's Bras Basah.Bugis Precinct. He draws inspiration from the history of the area to imagine a subterranean city of the future.

The work invites us to turn our attention away from our present-day surroundings to a world where the sky is no longer the limit. Building on the network of subsurface passages and transit corridors surrounding the site of the Singapore Art Museum, 'Sub/merged' presents a thoughtful and compelling argument for developing Singapore's underground as the next frontier for urban verticality.

Experience living and working in Fallon's subterranean warrens when you activate the three portals located along the mural. You can also access these at the Sub/merged website, which is best experienced via desktop: https://www.submergedsam.com/
