Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork’s HNZF (Harsh Noise Zen Fountains) combines aerospace scrap from WWII-era military aircraft, computer-controlled water pumps and hydrophones into sonic sculptures.
The installation draws on Gork’s research into the military history of sound technologies and the various limestone caves of Okinawa.
The amplified sound of water echoing through Fort Gate draws parallels between the experiences of Okinawans and Singapore’s own occupation under Japanese rule during the war.
Location: Fort Canning Park, Civic District

In a statement, Low Eng Teong, CEO of the National Arts Council, said: “Now in its eighth edition, the Singapore Biennale has been an important platform for creative collaborations and meaningful dialogue among practitioners, the wider arts community and audiences.
“With our public spaces at the heart of this year’s work, Singapore transforms into a canvas for the arts as everyday places bring forth new encounters and moments for reflection. We hope that Singaporeans and visitors alike will continue to engage with and be part of our city’s evolving identity through these shared art experiences.”
