Found Things by Howard Tan

What is a flea market to you? A place to browse for antiques, castaways, junk? One can stumble upon valuable items or experience a tinge of melancholy when encountering goods on the verge of obsolescence at flea markets. In Malaysia, these markets are akin to 'Thieves markets,' where lost and found objects are a common sight. These places offer a wealth of old items, and Howard Tan's debut solo exhibition, 'Found Things...,' showcases his experimental photographic recreations of flea market scenes and some of his personal discoveries from years of exploring such markets across the country.
