Inside Looking Out? Or Outside Looking In?

The big day is finally here.

If you’re in Singapore, please go check out the InsideOut exhibition at Objectifs, starting Wednesday.

Clear your mind of stereotypes and perhaps learn something about this huge community that lives, works and plays in Singapore.

Cameras were given to migrant workers – domestic help, construction workers – in Singapore and guided by professional photographers, they not only documented their world, but also showed us their version of our happy tropical isle.

The Photo Essay has been an idea I’ve had for a while and I’m so lucky that some friends were putting together this amazing work. I’m starting with this and the Day Off projects, but I’m on the look out for more. (Tell your friends!)

I wish I were there. Nothing quite like seeing actual exhibition prints.

This beautiful image, taken by Veeraphol Charoenrat of Thailand, shows a Thai worker preparing dinner (a spicy dip for meat dishes) for a group of 20 at make-shift quarters for foreign construction workers.

Are they letting us into their world? Or showing us who we really are?

Who’s looking in now?
