At DECK, we offer unique perspectives, interviews, and stories in the world of photography.
Last night, we opened Undescribed #11 at Guoco Midtown Public Art Wall, an intimate showcase of emerging voices in contemporary image-making. It was such a special evening, filled with energy, conversations, and lots of love as we celebrated the artists and their works. Thank you to everyone who came by, we were so heartened by the incredible turnout!
The 11th edition of Undescribed continues its mission of supporting fresh art graduates and pushing new perspectives in photography and visual storytelling, inviting audiences to encounter works that unfold stories within the everyday.

During her visit, we had the privilege of sitting down with Dayanita Singh, the offset artist behind 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘮 𝘉𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘯 and 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦. These works redefine the photobook as something alive, part archive, part exhibition, and part object.
At 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘪𝘥𝘭 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘊𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦. 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤 𝘰𝘯 𝘗𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘳, her creations invite us to engage in a way that is both intimate and interactive—touching, rearranging, and reimagining. Here, images are fluid, dissolving the boundaries between book and exhibition, reader and curator. Rooted in her long-standing passion for bookmaking, Dayanita’s approach transforms every encounter into a tactile, personal, and ever-evolving experience.
Experience 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘮 𝘉𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘯 and 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 for yourself at 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘪𝘥𝘭 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘊𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦. 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤 𝘰𝘯 𝘗𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘳, running until 30 May at Shop–House by DECK. We look forward to welcoming you!

Undescribed is back with its 11th edition, on view from 23 April to 30 August at Guoco Midtown Public Art Wall!
This year’s edition brings together five image-makers Cavin Lim (@cavibo_), Jay Lim (@jayyshoots), Lydia Koh (@laydio.art), Syed Abdullah (@syedabdullahalbar) and Zhixin Sheng (@zhixin_nn) — whose practices move fluidly between document, construction, object, and system.
Part of an annual platform supporting emerging artists based in Singapore, Undescribed continues to spotlight voices redefining contemporary image-making across photography and the moving image.
At a time when images are endlessly produced and quickly consumed, these works question the necessity of making images at all — exploring restraint, duration, and absence.
📍 Guoco Midtown Public Art Wall
🗓 23 April to 30 August
⏰Daily, 8:00AM till 10:00PM

We took a moment to sit with a few participants of In Our Own Frame.
Spending time with them, we got to hear about thoughts behind their works and the images they resonated with.
There’s something quiet but powerful in how these individual perspectives come together. Each one personal, yet part of a larger conversation that only emerges through their coming together.
