10th Singapore International Photography Festival
The Singapore International Photography Festival reaches its tenth edition from 16 October 2026 to 31 January 2027, organised by DECK under the theme “In My End Is My Beginning”. The hub is Shop—House by DECK on Lorong 24 Geylang, with further venues including Levels 2 and 3 of SingPost Geylang. A centrepiece is filmmaker Tan Pin Pin’s Singapore Index: from nearly 2,800 black-and-white negatives of 1991–92 she has drawn weddings, funerals, religious gatherings and reunions, most seen in public for the first time in over thirty years. Shifting Images presents 40 Singapore photographic artists from 2000 to 2025.
From nearly 2,800 black-and-white negatives of 1991–92, Tan Pin Pin has drawn out weddings, funerals and reunions.
Most of Singapore Index is being shown for the first time in over thirty years; it records ordinary lives, and many visitors will recognise the occasions.
Shifting Images shows 40 Singapore photographic artists from 2000 to 2025.
Seen together, they trace how local photography changed over twenty-five years; there are also 20 open-call projects from 16 countries.
The hub is a pair of shophouses on Lorong 24 Geylang rather than a white-cube gallery.
Moving from room to room feels like leafing through an album in someone’s home.
