DECK presents ‘I will tell you how it was and how I tried’, a three-channel video installation by Shi Yangkun that moves like a stream of visual fragments containing archival footage, found film, and recorded material drifting across screens.

Rather than following a linear narrative, the work layers, interrupts, and reassembles images, creating a rhythm that feels closer to memory than story.

Rooted in the theme of 1991, the presentation looks at a year not as a fixed point in history, but as something continually re-seen and re-edited through images. The installation opens up a space where memory feels fluid, one that is shaped in real time, and always slightly out of reach.

At PHOTOFAIRS Shanghai 2026, Tan Pin Pin’s ‘Someday (总有一天)’ unfolds as a quiet meditation on time and memory.

Captured during her 11-week solo journey across China when she was 22, the photographs move through fleeting encounters—street scenes, lived-in interiors, and everyday rhythms, held with a sense of closeness and curiosity.

Rooted in street photography yet extending into homes, schools, and intimate interiors, the work moves between distance and proximity, offering a layered portrait of a society on the cusp of rapid change.

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.

Featuring emerging artists Cavin Lim (@cavibo_), Jay Lim (@jayyshoots), Lydia Koh (@laydio.art), Syed Abdullah (@syedabdullahalbar), and Zhixin Sheng (@zhixin_nn), mentored by Gwen Lee (@gwenleegimlay) and Robert Zhao (@robert_zhao).

We warmly invite everyone to drop by, experience the works up close, and support these rising artists.
