Project 37 is an exhibition by photographer Chow Chee Yong that charts the demolition process of Singapore’s National Stadium.
The photographer’s four-month documentation captures the last moments of the National Stadium as a tribute to the outdoor arena that had hosted innumerable National Day parades, worldwide sporting events and countless performances by local and international artistes. The National Stadium once united thousands of people in boisterous spirits and the photographic works of remembrance are at once an archive of a nation’s history and each individual’s story.
Displayed in large format black and white Diasec prints, the images stir at the collective memory of generations of Singaporeans as the country anticipates her 46th birthday on 9 August 2011.
