Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book is a study of six films made between 1958–1963 in pre-independence Singapore, as told through the fictional persona of Remy Shah. In his story, Shah applies characteristics of both fiction and theoretical essays, along timestamps and still images of film sequences. It is a book of autotheory; a kind of meta-novel which is at once a diary, a thesis, and a meditation. The artist novel addresses how we perceive both images in films through the lens of time, and coloniality and history through the lens of film.
