Singapore on Public Notice is a collection of notices put up in public spaces in Singapore. The collection is a survey of sentiments and vernacular. The notices depict a story of this small Southeast Asian city state, as scripted by its people – a tale of comedy and tragedy, mystery and miracle, heroes and villains, thieves and lovers, politics and piety.

The work is on-going and now includes a crowd-sourced component with hashtag #publicnoticesg contributions from the public.
