Singapore GaGa examines the complex relationship that Singaporeans have with Singapore through a collection of images and sound encompassing the National Day Parade, school cheers and public announcements. Uncover how the every-day person longs to be heard, seen and associated to the island-country as well as to the present times, which is constantly evolving.
