Objectifs Chapel Gallery
Sat 13 Dec 2pm – 3.30pm | Free Admission (Please RSVP via our website)

And Still brings together two artists whose practices are deeply rooted in searches of selfhood within desire and the intimate. Inhabiting the inner chambers of the camera, their works refuse tidy resolutions. Instead, they beckon us to look upon with care — to sit with moments of ambiguity, and to feel what is missing in what remains.

This exhibition marks the 15th edition of the Kwek Leng Joo Prize of Excellence in Photography Exhibition. It presents the works of NTU School of Art, Design and Media graduates Chuen Kah Jun and Tay Yiling, recipients of the Kwek Leng Joo Prize.

Run Pluto Run (Chuen Kah Jun, 2025)

Run Pluto Run explores queer desire as a site of both connection and fragmentation. Informed by Lacanian thought, it examines how desire destabilizes the self, revealing a persistent sense of lack and a dissonance between internal experience and external recognition. Queer desire is not only driven by longing, but also shaped by absence, misrecognition, and the social structures that render it invisible or illegible.

Rather than seeking resolution, the work embraces desire as a shifting state: fluid, elusive, and often dislocated. Through surreal and symbolic imagery, it traces how desire complicates identity, blurring the boundaries between estrangement, recognition, and transformation.

With a hand that trembles, with a human trembling (Tay Yiling, 2025)

With a hand that trembles, with a human trembling looks at gestures in the everyday that hold glimpses of the human. Images take their departure point from poetry, recognising the form as an embodiment of seeing; the very doing of poetry itself as a reminder of living. Images locate meaning in banal matter that resist and respond to our gazes in kind — at moments in tender curiosity, oftentimes in humanlike vulnerability.

At its core, this work asks: could art possibly be viewed upon as the ordinary act of living? Through images that extend as hesitations and reminders, an artist searches for impressions of an existence within folds of the lonely, quiet, and delicate.

About the artists

Chuen Kah Jun (b. 1999) is a photographer and visual artist specializing in staged photography and digital image post-production. He uses photography as a medium to tackle the nuances of identity, gender and sexuality, exploring these themes by adopting visual language from both surrealistic and fashion influences.

Tay Yiling (b. 2000) is a visual artist and writer. Working across photography, performance and poetry, her practice examines intimacy, vulnerability, and humanness. She uses image-making and language to investigate interiority, the confessional, and our encounters with the material everyday.
