Set in Sekeping Pinang, an old Chinese shop house on Lebuh Melayu, the installation transports the manufacturing glory of Penang into the heart of Georgetown, a UNESCO world heritage site. A dialogue is created between the two characters of Penang - of mass production and craft; warping a quaint, sleepy lane with the inner workings of a factory. The controlled cacophony of LED light tubes and transparent plastic pipes reveals the mechanics of each component needed to collectively bring the installation to live. The light tubes transcend their physical embodiment against the pitch dark space, becoming streaks of light as though part of the cosmos. The glistening structure, almost like a relic from the future, sheds light on the aged and textured quality of the space. The past becomes present.
