Robert Zhao Renhui: Seeing Forest, Volume 2 of 2 furthers the exploration of Singaporean artist Robert Zhao Renhui’s work, following last year’s first volume, released alongside his exhibition at the Singapore Pavilion of the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.

This second volume accompanies a reimagined iteration of Seeing Forest that reopened in January 2025 at the Singapore Art Museum. While echoing the structure of the first volume, Seeing Forest, Vol. 2 introduces new perspectives and voices, offering reflections that draw throughlines and open lines of flight between both publications. Newly commissioned essays and translations by leading writers and thinkers resonate with Zhao’s work, tracing alternate pathways through relational habitats, multispecies rhythms, and speculative futures.
