In this launch capsule, host Charlene Rajendran speaks to three producers: Muhammad Abe (Indonesia), Sasapin Siriwanij (Thailand), and Yoko Kawasaki (Japan).

Hiroshi Sugimoto: Form Is Emptiness marks the internationally acclaimed artistโ€™s first major survey exhibition in Southeast Asia, bringing together 63 works from 11 series alongside 14 fossils from Sugimotoโ€™s personal collection. On view at @singaporeartmuseum until 11 October 2026, the exhibition spans five decades of the artistโ€™s exploration of time, space, perception and the relationship between appearance and reality. Designed by Sugimoto, the exhibition layout takes the form of a mandala, inviting visitors to move through the works at their own pace and discover their own pathways through the space. For this exhibition, @singaporeartmuseum presents its first audio access experience, developed in collaboration with @centre42 , @artwave.studio and playwright Joel Tan. Moving beyond a literal description of the artworks, the audio guide takes a more creative and meditative approach, inviting listeners to pause, reflect and consider the works and the ways they have been brought together by @centre42
