Communal Composition II

Cherry Chan ft. DJ Zai and Itek

Communal Composition II is a durational participatory installation unfolding over three hours, where visitors become co-authors of a living artwork shaped by sound, gesture, and collective presence.

An evolving soundtrack, mixed live by DJs, provides the tonal ground for the work—shifting between rhythms and textures that participants attune to through spontaneous gestures of marking, weaving, and pleating. Over time, these collective actions accumulate into an evolving tableau that blurs the boundaries between drawing, sculpture, and ritual.

In this iteration, visitors are encouraged to arrive in muted tones of beige, brown, or black, and to create ephemeral crowns from leaves, underscoring the work’s grounding in care, ecology, and communal embodiment. A live camera transposes these gestures into manipulated moving images across an LED screen, layered with images of living relics (local botany remixed) rendering participation itself as an ever-shifting composition.

Transforming the space into an environment of attunement, Communal Composition II invites sound, form, and shared presence to merge into a continuously unfolding artwork.

Itek (Singapore)

ITEK (formerly known as YETPET) sound is an off-kilter, bass-driven blend of percussions atop gnarly womps, held down by mutant knots of dancehall, techno, ebm, industrial and acid.

She is also one of the key members of Strange Weather,a music and art collective from Singapore who are connecting the dots between contemporary electronic music, deconstructed traditional motifs, subversive symbolism and sweaty dance floor hysteria.
