The Great Story of the Infinite Drawing - by Elly Oldman (France)

Image: Elly Oldman

Created by French illustrator Elly Oldman, this giant fresco is displayed on a wall in the Geylang Bahru neighbourhood like a giant puzzle.

It tells an offbeat and almost philosophical tale with a universal ecological and environmental message, through a story of a girl and a robot where parallel worlds collapse one after the other and what is done to repair one threatens to make the others disappear.

Bring the family to the wall mural and scan the QR code for a fun Augmented Reality activity where the panels come to life, with additional animated illustrations by a Singaporean artist!

When: Nov 12-29

Location: Jalan Besar Town Council (Wall facing Geylang Bahru)
