Description

Woong Soak Teng’s photography book presents a unique exploration of Singapore’s man-made garden city through the lens of its staked trees. Captured between August and December 2015, the book offers a thought-provoking perspective on how urban planning molds nature to fit human-designed landscapes. Teng’s work highlights the often overlooked, yet vital, role of supporting structures in maintaining the aesthetic harmony of city trees. Her approach to tree-tying, blending productivity with aesthetics, reflects the complex relationship between nature and human intervention. With a consistent, frontal photographic style and detailed captions pinpointing each tree’s location, Teng’s book not only documents the physicality of these trees but also imbues them with a topographical significance. The images, balancing between abstract elegance and stark reality, invite readers to contemplate the subtle yet profound ways in which urban environments shape and are shaped by nature.
