Tropic Temper
0.0/10
Overview
Singapore is said to be a product of forgettings. Tactical amnesia is, perhaps, just another regulating strategy. But can you forget at will? Tropic Temper cracks open Singapore’s code as a site of a disciplined tropics and enters its environmental forgetting program realised via surveillant climatic infrastructures and extreme terraforming. Through the voices of Nancy, a Peranakan nyonya ghost and J.A.C.E., an omniscient intelligence of Holy Origin, the film surveys the city-country's last remaining mangroves at risk of being transformed connected e-gardens, while new energy and chemical processing islands rise out of the ocean. Within the smooth and all-sensing new nature where botanical prowess and technological spectacle collide, nymphs, attracted to the island's energy pools, visit to feed on the lingering underbelly of petrol-washed coral reefs and hollow karaoke lounges.
