“Temple of Love” depicts the story of a monster who appears in the middle of the night, wreaks havoc and mercilessly devours the world. This catastrophe leads to the destruction of buildings and nature, causing upheaval within the community. After a long, tiresome battle with the monster, Mother Nature appears and heals the earth with her powerful hands, endless love and nurturing energy, and the world is rejuvenated, healed and fertile once again.
Arahmaiani, Wayang Merdeka, and Milosh Luczynski’s light projection “Temple of Love” is part of Light to Night Singapore 2024: Reimagine, which was held from 19 Jan to 8 Feb 2024 across Singapore’s Civic District.
