Yeo Kai Wen

Storyteller
Kai Wen has bathed in arsenic-contaminated water, travelled to the arctic's edge, and slept in Asia's largest slum, all in the name of telling stories. Through his photographs, he hopes to better understand the human condition.

Based in Singapore as a freelance documentary photographer, Kai Wen finds time to pursue his personal work, dealing with issues of environmental destruction and how it affects society at large. He picked up aerial videography in 2014, using quadcopters to document melting sea ice at the arctic’s edge in Manitoba, Canada. Since then, he has also investigated how illegal farming in Cameron Highlands has led to increased flooding disasters in Pahang, Malaysia.

Synopsis:
Stern-faced soldiers wielding M-16 rifles stood guard as excavators mowed down rows of chrysanthemums, leaving behind broken stalks and fallen petals. At a distance, farmers stood by helplessly as they watched years of their hard work destroyed under government orders. The Cameron Highlands has in recent years been under development pressure. While this has created a secure and comfortable lifestyle for many farmers, it has also resulted in large swathes of forests being cleared to make way for farm expansion. As a result, flooding has become an annual affair, claiming property and lives while contaminating rivers with human waste, plastics and dangerous levels of pesticides. The Disappearing Hills documents the human stories behind these environmental issues.
