Sea State

2016

SEA STATE is an exhibition by artist Charles Lim Yi Yong, commissioned for the Singapore Pavilion for the 56th Venice Biennale and presented at the NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore. For over a decade, Lim’s ongoing project SEA STATE examines the biophysical, political and psychic contours of Singapore through the visible and invisible lenses of the sea. SEA STATE is an in-depth inquiry that scrutinises both man-made systems, opening new perspectives on our everyday surroundings, from unseen landscapes and disappearing islands to the imaginary boundaries of a future landmass.

We took inspiration from this to design the exhibition branding, which is applied across all environmental graphics and print collaterals.
