Abstract "Inside the Subject" is basically part of larger Haykal's exploration project work as associate artist at Substation. Artist researches and combine objects, that are representing Singapore culture. Installation consists of prose, music, objects, that produce distinctive for Singapore sounds and noises, such as sound produced, when stick is driven through the metallic bars of bed basement. Three artists are performing together to make cacophony, that is presenting meditation of the person, who is considering first murder in his life. Artist offers to think about new fiction concept, that will be implemented in future society, when murderers will be allowed to return to normal life without any punishment, but would be obligated to wear orange jacket for whole life and any other person will have right to kill such a member without any further offense. The work is basically considering public norms and influence of the society on person's thoughts and ideas about death, empathy and apathy towards life.
