Title
Performance: A Tumbling Inch by Irwan Ahmett and Tita Salina
Description
On 28 March 2018, Irwan Ahmett and Tita Salina concluded their residency at NTU CCA Singapore with the lecture Name Laundering during which Ahmett made the solemn pledge (sumpah) not to return to Singapore, an oath that holds true until today. A Tumbling Inch is a performative action from Batam, the Indonesian island closest to Singapore.. Performed from a vantage point rife with strategic and symbolic implications, the work revolves around a man’s nostalgic longing for the Lion City. Following the free movement of sea waves across the Straits of Malacca, the man addresses archipelagic histories, the relations between Indonesia and Singapore, and the inequalities created by ruthless economic development.
