Can You Hear Me?

As You Were
12 May 2022 - 30 Oct 2022
Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park
An Initiative by Public Art Trust, National Arts Council

Can You Hear Me? 
Interactive Public Installation, Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park
Fibreglass and Powder Coated Galvanised Steel
7.0m x 2.0m x 2.2m


In collaboration with Aaron Lim

Reminiscent of the cup-and-string telephone that encourages children to listen attentively, "Can You Hear Me?" is an invitation to active listening - a lost art in the age of distraction. With increased screen time and physical distance in modern urban life during the pandemic, communities are yearning to find solace by being present with the sounds of nature: birds chirping, leaves rustling and water flowing in the streams. Putting a spin on the phrase we often hear in Zoom, "Can You Hear Me?" seeks to rekindle listening as a way of being, knowing, and caring for the world around us. Visitors are invited to embrace and attend to what nature can offer through the cup-and-string instrument.
