Type

Photographic Print, (39x270cm), 2008

Artist

Russel Wong (b.1961), Singapore

Location

Citadines Mount Sophia Level 1, Lobby, Singapore

This work features five types of traditional “toys” played by Asians: marble, shuttlecock, five-stones, lantern and paper ball. Photographer Russell Wong used monochrome to capture images of these toys but added colours to highlight certain parts of them thereby making them special. A much enlarged image of each toy is displayed in the lift lobby of every residential floor to give them an identity; together they add a local touch to Citadines Mount Sophia.
