Barbershop Quartet

Well, not exactly.

Urban Dream Capsule is an installation art performance that has four men living in a capsule in public view, 24 hours a day, for two weeks or so. Right now they're cloistered in the ESPRIT display on the corner of Raffles City, facing CHIJMES and Raffles Hotel. Voyeuristic like the now-defunct Jennicam, but without the occasional romp. Hopefully.

Out of curiosity, and since we were shopping there last night, J and I went to take a peek and snapped some photos.


Who are all you people and what are you doing out there?

Spectators were looking in from either side of the long-ish showcase - the silly ones (like us) out in the drizzle, and the smarter ones from inside ESPRIT premises. Some left in disgust, grumbling loudly to their friends about wasting their time, but a sizeable crowd remained. Some kids were trying to communicate by typing questions on their cell phones and presenting them through the glass.


No, this is the way you do it

Funny-looking man in a skirt? Get your kid out of there lady, he's too young for such a traumatizing experience.


Well helloooooo there!

Now on till June 12.
