At DECK, we offer unique perspectives, interviews, and stories in the world of photography.
A new creative exchange begins between Singapore and Daegu, South Korea.
We are excited to share an upcoming international partnership between DECK and ArtSpace LUMOS (@artspacelumos), as we open new paths for photographic artists to explore, experiment, and grow beyond borders.
Singaporean photographer Lavender Chang (@lavchang) will be our first resident, creating new works in Daegu between November to December 2026. Stay tuned and journey with us as Lavender’s new body of work takes shape.
Open Call for UNDESCRIBED #12 is now open!
For the 12th edition, we are pleased to welcome back Robert Zhao Renhui (@robert_zhao), whose practice sits at the intersection of art, science and environmental history, alongside Alecia Neo (@alecianeo), whose socially engaged practice centres on community, care, dialogue and participation.
UNDESCRIBED goes beyond exhibition-making – providing a space for emerging artists to experiment, develop new work, exchange ideas, receive critical feedback, and build connections within the arts community.

An invitation to look deeper, join artist Gilles Massot (@gilles_massot) for an introduction to Singapore Baraoke, a conceptual framework born from his acclaimed The Coffee Shop Series.
Drawing on 40 years of archives and artistic practice in Singapore, Gilles will share how a personal photographic journey has grown into something far greater: a collaborative, ever-evolving platform woven from stories, images, and community.
Don`t miss out on being a part of this conversation. This programme is co-presented by DECK and Intersections Gallery (@intersectionsgallery)

Meet Zhixin Sheng! 👋 Our final artist in this week-by-week series for Undescribed #11.
Zhixin moves between images, words, books and spaces, exploring memory, feeling and the stories that emerge in between. In this week’s video, she breaks down her work in three words, shares what she hopes you’ll feel when you encounter it, and gives us a glimpse into the world behind Working from corners and edges.
Plus, one last round of quick-fire questions. 👀
And that’s a wrap on our artist series! But we’re not quite done yet…
We’ve got something a little different coming your way next week. Stay tuned. 👀
Clocking in for your weekly artist drop 🕐 Meet Syed Abdullah, our fourth artist in the Undescribed #11 series.
His work `Operational Hour` traces an intern navigating corporate life across five stages, where belonging becomes performance and productivity becomes identity.
Watch as Syed describes his work in three words, shares how he wants you to feel when looking at his work, and weighs in on the local art scene. Oh, and yes, there`s a quick-fire round too 🍕
This week, we`re featuring Lydia Koh (LAYDIO), the third artist in our weekly series for Undescribed #11 👋
Working with photography as a way of rethinking space, memory, and perception, Lydia invites us to slow down and see familiar moments differently. In this week`s video, she talks about the ideas behind her practice, what she hopes viewers will take away from her work, and takes on our quick-fire questions.
Stay tuned as we introduce the next artist. 👀
What does it mean to sit between fact and fiction?
As Chen Chuanduan’s residency at DECK comes to a close, we take a moment to reflect on the ideas that have shaped his practice, from the research that underpins each project to his fascination with the space between documentary and fiction.
Chuanduan shares intimate reflections on his creative process, what keeps him going, and why photography remains the medium through which he explores alternate realities.
