GHANESHWARAN Balachandran doesn’t fit neatly into any category. Call him a wildlife photographer, and he shifts uncomfortably in his seat, as if the title doesn’t quite fit. So, what is he, really? He pauses, his brows furrowing in thought. “No one’s ever asked me that before,” he murmurs. It’s not a complaint, just a quiet realisation — he’s never truly considered it himself.

I first came across Tan Zi Hao’s works at the Singapore Biennale 2016 — An Atlas of Mirrors. There stood Makara, the ominous mythical beast of Hindu origin. Usually depicted as a half-mammal and half-fish hybrid, the Makara had for a very long time, pierced cultural, religious and philosophical dialogues. With these heavy themes in mind, Tan contrived a large-scale fibreglass/metal carcass: an elephant-crocodile crossbreed finished with a fish tail and boar tusks. His version of Makara challenges that history is every so often constructed on something completely delusive, fictional and illogical.
