Vois sur ton chemin seeks forgiveness and redemption from the perspective of an ecclesiastical belief.
The project involves two characters, a fallen angel and a broken snail and revolves around four healing phrases: I'm Sorry, Please Forgive Me, Thank You and I Love You. These are extracted from Ivan Tan En Hock's recollection, with whom this project is in collaboration. Ivan filed the 377A constitutional challenge in 2011 which still criminalizes homosexuality in Singapore today. The works, both performance and objects are scripted from his growing up experiences back in 1960s Singapore and rechanneled by both his presence as well as the artist, who is of a different three decades generartion from him.
Additionally, the work also borrows elements from the narratives of Cristophe Barratier's 2004 German-French-Swiss drama film, Les Choristes with original scores by Bruno Coulais. The film tells a story of a failed musician and a group of difficult boys whom he supervised. The artist seems resemblances between himself, Ivan and the musician which also turns the project into arguably, a personal memoir of his decade long stay in Singapore.
