Calendars (2020-2096)

2012 - Installation (Installation)

Heman Chong

year born: 1977
gender: male
nationality: Singaporean
home town: Muar, Malaysia

The work Calendars is composed of 1001 images of deserted public areas in Singapore printed on pages of a calendar set from the year of 2020 until 2096. Yet Chong photographed these public spaces (shopping centers, museums, MRT stations and schools) between 2004 and 2010. Calendars continues Hong’s conceptual investigation of the intersections between time, space and situation. This ‘archive’ of images projected into the future challenges the ways time is usually recorded and asks to “imagine meaning out of memories in the future?”. Blurring the boundaries between fiction and narration, Calendars prompts viewers to reconsider the world as they know it through the lens of what the futures might be.


Heman Chong is an artist, curator, and writer who creates texts, objects, installations, and situations in order to investigate the manner through which individuals form associations between objects in their environments. Chong’s works have been considered “archetypally conceptual” and recall frameworks of the 1960s in their potential to address collective visions of futuristic utopias. Based largely on books, Chong’s works are striking in their creation of visual order as a means to draw out the “inevitably mnemonic nature of the conceptual object.”
