Local photographer Chow Chee Yong’s four-month documentation captures the last moments of the National Stadium as the grand process of demolition was carried out. As the stadium stood for 37 years in Kallang, Chow titled his work ‘Project 37’ which also comprises a set of 37 images. The demolition process actually made it possible for Chow to capture the architecture and landscape of the stadium from different angles. His black and white photographs are clearly a tribute to this national building whilst charting the development of the demolition. More importantly, they serve as a record of the nation's history and the individual's story, emotions and memories. ‘Last Clock’ in the National Stadium captures the iconic feature of the architecture – the clock and the scoreboard. Not only did the board with the clock display the time but it was also responsible for displaying the scores for matches held there. The time on the clock in this photograph has stopped at 10:25, a time when all activities in the stadium came to a standstill except for the demolition. The grand stand captured in this photograph shows that the seats have already been removed.
