Interactive Art Installations
Disposable Planet by Lumin Hew, Fashion Parade
This installation features a vibrant base made from colourful fabric scraps, shifting from green and blue gradients to warm orange and red-brown hues, symbolising the planet in all its diversity and transformation. By turning discarded textiles into interactive art, the piece embodies a powerful sustainability message of rethinking waste. Locally sourced fabrics, including traditional materials, connect the work to Singapore’s heritage and community roots. The installation also includes an interactive planting and gardening element: participants are invited to “beautify the planet” by adding fabric flowers and leaves onto the earth-shaped canvas. To do so, they must first make a personal pledge on a communal board, turning individual commitments into a collective declaration for the environment. Through this process, the artwork becomes both a visual tapestry of recycled creativity and a living record of shared responsibility.
Visitor Participation: Visitors may add a fabric 'flower' to the piece, contributing to a collective bloom over the two festival days.
Circle of Life by Khor Tuck Kuan, City Sprouts
A donut-shaped landscape of waste (wood chips, cardboard, and sugarcane pulp) comes alive with towering mushrooms sculpted from these very materials, some as tall as six feet. Mushrooms are nature’s recyclers, breaking down what others discard.This installation embodies circularity in food systems, where nothing is wasted and every end sparks a new beginning.
Visitor Participation: Visitors create mushroom sculptures from paper cups,plates, or cardboard, then add them to the circle, growing the installation over time.
Farm on Table by Khor Tuck Kuan, City Sprouts
The familiar dining table becomes a living farm. Barley greens sprout from the tabletop, plates brim with microgreens, bowls hold herbs planted in soil, and “ugly food” is arranged into vibrant centerpieces. Garden forks and spades replace cutlery. The installation blurs the line between farm and table. In Singapore, where over 90% of food is imported, valuing local, sustainable, and imperfect produce lowers our carbon footprint and strengthens resilience.
Visitor Participation:
Workshop: Visitors plant microgreens in upcycled containers and add them to the table-scape.
Heart of the Earth by Khor Tuck Kuan, City Sprouts
A six-foot heart, constructed from recycled materials, stands as a monumental symbol of Earth’s life force. From its veins and arteries, plants and trees emerge, reminding us that nature flows through us all. This is a large recycled-material structure integrated with live plants, represents both fragility and resilience.
The Living Art by GWS Living Art
Living Art is part of an immersive installation crafted to re-establish the intrinsic bond between humanity and the natural environment. By emulating the intricate life cycle of a tree through a multisensorial experience, this initiative aspires to cultivate a profound appreciation for ecological systems and foster a heightened sense of environmental responsibility.
Visitor Participation: Participants will paint on a large mural collectively using biochar paint.
Thrive by Khor Tuck Kuan, City Sprouts
A garden of upcycled plastic flowers crafted from bottles and jugs, created by special needs students through City Sprouts workshops. This inclusive artwork highlights both upcycling and empowerment. At Eartopia, the garden continues to grow as visitors join workshops led by special needs trainers to make their own bottle-flowers and add them to the communal garden.
