Set along the locale of Waterloo Street, this exhibition of staged self-portraits traces the residual presence of a city. During nightfall, the artist photographs himself as a speculative and flaneurish mid-century stranger. The city becomes palimpsest, each image drawing the past into view through quiet acts of embodiment. 

Moving between visibility and disappearance, the work dwells where memory resists the forward march of development. It questions how a palce holds its history, and how that history might be conjured—if only for a moment—before vanishing again. 

Loitering was first comissioned by Arts Management Collective as part of Waterloo Street Kaki’s presentation at Singapore Night Festival 2025.
