Endless Frames

Endless Frames is a public art installation by Pamela Tan of Poh Sin Studio, sited in Kwai Chai Hong, a heritage lane in central Kuala Lumpur, and photographed by Annice Lyn, Aaron Wong and Ewyn Shum. The work imagines a cavern-like tunnel whose form references traditional Chinese wooden door and window lattice. In the context of Kwai Chai Hong, the installation acts as a time tunnel, reflecting on the heritage of the past and the cultural traditions represented by the old shophouse lane. At the same time, its ghostly, translucent appearance projects an ambiguity about the future into which we are heading, offering a small commentary on the need to preserve cultural heritage even in a rapidly changing world. Day and night, the tunnel reads differently: in daylight it is a perforated silhouette against the lane, and after dark it becomes a glowing passage that draws pedestrians through. Project details are limited in the source material.
