The story

Inspired by the enigmatic specimen ZRC_1_3200:3203 at the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, the film delves into the recursive nature of memory and meaning-making. Abstract realities unfold through observation, dialogue, and human interaction, unearthing deeper dimensions within the worlds of artist-jeweller Shing of Argentum, taxonomist Dr Tan Swee Hee of Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum and conductor Jason Lai of Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music.
