BORDERS OVER ASIA

Little India
Polaroids, 2004
Little India is a Singaporean ghetto, occupied by migrants from South Asia since the 1840's when Singapore was a British colony. Today this area is a tourist attraction, officially recognized as the 'enclave of the Indian community', and is the main source of cheap Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani labour, who are hired mainly as construction workers.
In these photographs, we find workers from the Sub-continent in by-lanes and enclaves in surroundings which look more like their home countries than mainstream Singapore.
