It’s the last few days for you to catch Chang Chien-Chi’s DOUBLENESS exhibition at the National Museum of Singapore. Photographer Steven Lee, whose works appeared in the books ‘Outside Looking In: Kuala Lumpur’ and ‘Malaysians’ paid a visit to the exhibition last month.

Magnum photographer Chang Chien-Chi from Taiwan is staging a major exhibition at the Singapore National Museum, and I popped along to the magnificent building by Fort Canning Park yesterday. The exhibition is showing 3 of his most reported projects, and the theme of the show is titled ‘Doubleness’.

Chang Chien-Chi (or ‘CC’ as he is known, apparently) is a small unassuming, coy man who is the first Asian to join the prestigious Magnum Photo agency, founded by Cartier-Bresson and a few other renown photojournalists. He photographs human relationships of utmost hardship, torn families of immigrants and mental disabilities. Often, as a photojournalist, he immerses himself completely with his subjects, and gains their confidence through living and sharing their plight.

Read Steven Lee’s review here. Don’t forget! DOUBLENESS closes on 4th January – so catch it at the National Museum while you still can!
