The Bizarre Honour by Robert Zhao Renhui as part of the exhibition “2219: Futures Imagined” in Art Science Museum, Singapore.
Founder of the Institute of Critical Zoologists, Robert Zhao Renhui’s work is based on his observations of the natural world and blends both documentary and fiction. The Bizarre Honour draws on the collection of the Institutite in order to explore Singapore's contentious relationship with nature, from its time as a colony to its period as city state. Presented as a “cabinet of curiosity" containing natural specimens and rarities, look out for gems including The Singapore Stone,a coconut pear and more.
