CityScapes Blog
Welcome to the Goethe-Institut CityScapes Blog.
12 cities
36 artists
12 themes
From January through December 2011, these were the parameters for a playground of diverse, fascinating, vibrant tales: Responding individually to a collective impetus, a host of hand-picked young bloggers uploaded photos, texts, and multimedia. Every month, they were given a new theme. Step by step, they created a kaleidoscope of impressions, opinions, ideas and… plain fun.
This project has now ended. If you like what you see, you may want to check out the brand new
CityTales Comic Blog.

Well done.
Just one question: Did they say "boring" or "bonding"? I was surprised and amazed how many people seemed to answer "boring", but the last one apparently said "bonding", which makes more sense, so I am not sure if I got the first ones right.
there was many many "borings" - the people looked dull to me too. or they have been over marketed by TRIUMPH bra ads at bus stops.
only one girl said "bonding" with 2 fingers touching.
I think it's interesting how you sensed and referenced these people somewhat look as dull as the "boring" replies many of them made...
urbanites must wake up to what is SEXUALITY on their own before examining the noun.
This video was done with live interview of people I found on the street and a group of students.
David, U didn't hear it wrongly. Most replied "boring", except for a young student whom replied "bonding".
Xynn, to make a video within 3 mins, it's impossible for me to encapsulate the entire subject of "Sexuality" in Singapore . What I am trying however to do is to invite an open interpretation (context) of what sex means to us singaporean.
this video isn't meant to make a judgement, or evaluation of what sexuality means.. Rather it offers you an insight (at the very least) to see into the minds of these interviewed Singaporeans, in corresponds to the environment (red light district) in a very real setting which exist in Singapore till today.
And the way, some of the replies if I remembered clearly are "good", "bonding", "Colourful", "love". what better way to describe "beautiful" or "Joyful" than the these words?
Cheers,
Skye
It is easy to make a quick judgement, and as an artist myself, I do realize the danger of self-indulgence in personal expression. We are bombarded by television and manipulated media on a daily basis. What I hope I achieve here, is to offer my audience a chance to make up a personal "experience" or understanding of the sex topic in Singapore. Some things are best left not described, but to experience.
just one question: what does the last guys say? I cant really understand it...
