Go to the “Opp Veerasamy Road” bus stop in Jalan Besar at any time on a sunny morning or late at night and take bus 857 which loops from Little India to City and back.
Significance:
The experience takes you on a “scenic” public bus ride frequently taken by the artist for leisure, passing various cultural landmarks as well as different types – and ambiences – of urban landscapes.
Pay attention to changes in the climate as you enter the bus. Look out of the window to see a play of shapes and light. Imagine the bus window’s frame as the frames of a movie, maybe an abstract movie with hand-painted frames of light and colour juxtaposed against the urban transitional, from the soft tumbling lines of shophouses to the hard urban lines of Suntec City, Marina Bay, the floating platform, and Capitol. Create that movie for yourself starting from when you first look out of the window. Alight from the bus when you arrive back at Serangoon Road.
