Singapore has long been lauded as a clean and green city, amidst an increasingly polluted world. But have you ever wondered what this modern city would look like if nature took over? French photographer Chris Morin-Eitner's Once Upon A Time Tomorrow collection re-imagines metropolitan scenes with flourishing flora and fauna, depicting concrete jungles morphing into actual jungles. Having already exhibited photo-paintings of Paris, New York, London, Hong Kong and more, Morin-Eitner will debut five new photographs of iconic places in Singapore at Voilah! 2017.
