Presented by Boon Lay Photo Club, Odd/Even brings together 8 photographers responding to the Lorongs of Geylang — a neighbourhood mapped, quite literally, by odd and even street numbering. Over two months of shooting, each photographer develops a project exploring the area beyond its best-known narrative.

Rather than treat Geylang as a single story to document, Odd/Even visualises its multiplicities. Overlapping narratives are layered to counter-map the neighbourhood visually.

The Lorongs' odd-and-even divide, which quietly denotes different typologies of people and activity, becomes a lens onto a Geylang that thrives on cultural merge: home to Singapore's largest concentration of clan associations, dozens of religious sites, and the accumulated stories of immigrants navigating both transient and permanent ground.

Odd/Even looks at these communities beyond the index.
