Chocolate monsters invade 8Q Sam

Posted by noelbynature

SINGAPORE – SUNDAY MARCH 29 2009 ::: Choon Lin, a Singaporean artist describes the process of creating her stop animation film of a girl who battles chocolate monsters at Come Out and Play!, now at 8Q Sam until end-April.


The works consist of a large wall projection, of a stop-motion animation made in situ at 8Q, by drawing painstakingly on the walls of the staircase, on the glass walls and windows of the museum, as well as invented unique silkscreen prints on water.

I created a storyboard through a sequence of drawing, erasing and re-drawing, capturing the images frame by frame with only a still-life camera and tripod. The storyline in my animation is sometimes absurd because I try not to dictate a plot from the beginning and prefer to allow the materials and the environment that I come across to lend a hand in its progress.

Check out snippets of her creative process here, here and here.
