Synopsis

Making its international debut outside of China, SKULLPANDA CAGE-UNCAGE Singapore is an immersive and thought-provoking showcase that elevates the artistry and intent of POP MART’s beloved character, exploring the contradictory states of certainty and freedom brought about by our decision-making processes. Through visually striking, interactive installations, visitors are invited to contemplate six major themes that form part of everyday life — Emotion, Fortune, Rules, Exploration, Life, and Direction — and examine the possibilities and dilemmas of choice that lie within.

Created in 2018 by Chinese multidisciplinary artist Xiong Miao, the SKULLPANDA character was designed as a version of the artist who embraces all the uncertainties and questions of life, concepts that have long fascinated her.
