Curatorial project " The Life of my sisters" - 2009










对于这摄影展很期待,因为我先生陈豪是这摄影展的策展人。
由于全职的工作忙碌,他有一段时间没有参于策展。
这一次受邀,他接下了任务。除了慈善,更希望大家多了解这机构,帮助和支持这群妹妹们,走向光明。
我们十多年前,到过尼伯尔,好山好水。
这次的影展,让你更接近Nepal,更了解孩子们的生活,更知道幸福是可以创造的。

National Museum of Singapore
Come-in art exhibition design Contest, April 2009.
Merit Award goes to Designer-Artist Tan Haur

Synopsis: This fixture creates a typical experience for visitors to feel the compact space and tighter gap between flats built by Housing Development Board nowadays in Singapore mainland. The semi-circular spheres made by clear acrylic material are to provide a viewing window within a confined space to simulate operator’s control room with viewing screen inside a military submarine or tanker; this is to create a visual tension between participants who are inside the four spheres. The internal space of the cubicles was painted with blue tone wavy- camouflage pattern to symbolize our island country is surrounded by ocean. At the centre portion of the cubicle tunnel, it was furnished with a typical HDB bomb shelter ventilation metal plate to create a sense of safety precaution as well as insecurity of a nation..

Art photography work at China, Lijiang Historical City 丽江影像



身在中国的香格里拉、丽江、大理和茶马古道会有种现实与虚幻交错的感觉。路经一处名为柔软时光的休闲客栈,大力提倡当地的慢与闲,其室内灯光,装饰和色彩迷幻,时间似乎凝固在梦缘的空间,顿悟达利大师(Salvador Dali)描绘软化记时器的意境。

Fine art photography work by Tan Haur

Cocoon










There’s such a sociological term “cocooning” to describe one of our current major living trends and lifestyle in modern society. And it has been a while that I’ve made a visual comparison between the heavy-looking man-made structures with little birds flying freely in the sky. You may sense the different vibration in two completely different worlds, as to say, with such a great contrast in their vision statement, it makes sense for us to ask these questions: 

Besides surrounded by walls, are there any other barriers that we created in our own life?
With more walls building up, are we getting lesser time to interact with others or nature?
Physical walls are just symbolic kinds of things, how about the invisible walls in our own thoughts?

What we could do is sit quietly at a corner of the Café, sipping a cup of house-brewed coffee, and watch the pigeons catching fun and turning to our table for food. Is probably a luxury moment in our fast-paced life by not doing anything but simply watching and searching for what we really want to be and being deep inside at this peaceful moment of “now”.

in Beijing 『因』北京 by Tan Haur



『因』北京

This exhibition reflects Tan Haur’s passion in black & white, and color fine art photography, focusing into straight street photography and mirroring fractions of strong visual statement of the local subject matters by placing two photos into one frame. Avoiding complicated postproduction in stitching and blending photos, majority of the photos in pairs are simply place side by side to shed light on his ideas and artistic statement.
This body of work should not be simply view as an artist’s photo dialogue experienced through in December 2007, Beijing, but very much an in depth expression of “Zen” in its daily life context.

When Blood turned Green

(A journey into underwater art)

by Tan Haur

The times when an accident acts as a catalyst leading onto a string of discoveries, a breakthrough, best illustrated by the story of the apple falling upon Newton, is a common enough phenomenon. I was the happy benefactor of one such accident. On one of my early diving trips near Phi Phi Island off the coast of Thailand, I cut my palm upon a coral. It was the pain that made me realized that I had sustained a cut, and when I looked at my palm to assess the damage, I was mesmerized to see green blood oozing out from the wound. All divers know that red light does not travel far into water and the greater the depth the more it has been absorbed. Yet the shock that came along with this perception of green blood overwhelmed me. It rocked me, and the pain notwithstanding, I was transcended into a new level of awareness. Suddenly the beauty, color and the magnificence of the submarine environment took on a fresh dimension, it screamed out to me. There and then I was moved to record, translate and share the glories of the underwater world. But how does one do this?
