Gajah Gallery is proud to present Singaporean artist Suzann Victor’s monumental kinetic installation City Lantern at Art Basel Hong Kong 2026. The work will be shown at Booth EN12, Level 3 as part of Encounters, the sector dedicated to large-scale installations, sculptures, and performances.City Lantern is a 3.6-metre-wide kinetic installation in which a ten-meter photographic mural rotates slowly behind a ring of Fresnel lenses. The composition weaves together approximately sixty architectural sites across the region, mapping a visual geography shaped by empire, migration, and modernity. These buildings act as palimpsests, carrying the legacies of war, conflict, and the often invisible histories of women.
Victor’s other lens-based explorations include Sea Lantern II (2025), a commissioned work currently on view at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and Third World Extra Virgin Dreams (1997), first shown at the 1997 Havana Biennale and now in the collection of the Singapore Art Museum.
