(PROJECT SUMMARY)
Memory of A Forgotten Place? The Pondok Jawa was a lodging and community space for the Javanese community in Kampong Gelam district Singapore, until it was demolished in 2003. Today, a fence surrounds the Pondok’s boundary, encapsulating the memory of where it used to stand.
The installation – a temporary bridge – crosses over the fence and provides public & community access again to the Pondok Jawa site. The installation will stay for a full year till 2024.
In 2025, the fence was removed, giving access to the space again to the Kampong Gelam community.
