Singapore’s water collection system covers the island’s territory, from small gutters surrounding the blocks of HDB flats to channels bringing water through different neighbourhoods. Following raindrops through these infrastructures shows a complex landscape of water, where security and efficiency are more valued than urban interactions.

A new part of the city is being built in the north of the Singapore island. Water is used here as an attraction for investors to build new condominiums around it. The film captures a moment when a water channel is already built and used for recreation whilst the surrounding city is still under construction.

Singapore’s familiar urban scenes are shown reflected on water.
