BEHIND THE PHOTO
In contrast to his Singapore
and Hong Kong work, the
images on these pages
were taken in Laos, where
traditional temples and
buildings are given the same
treatment.
The artist andAsia
Having been intrigued by
Asia since he was young,
Heijnen originally moved to
Singapore in 1992. He began
working on
Residue
in 2010
and although much of the
series features his adopted
home city, he's expanding
the work by adding more
cities from all across Asia.
“I have long been
fascinated by patterns
of weathering and decay
onwalls and surfaces”
