STREET FOUND​

Street Found is a 60-page collection of Roy’s philosophical outsider poetry, drawings, and pareidolic studies consisting iPhone photos of shapes found in street corners. He contemplates everyday life, busking and art: from Ah Bengs and Ang Mo Kio St 12 laksa to his busking trishaw and a baby’s inner life in the womb.

STREET FOUND event

What is the spirit of that which lives on the streets? On The (original) Substation Theatre’s last night of operations on 18 July 2021, we hosted a cosy celebration of Roy Payamal. Roy’s artistic history is intertwined with The Substation’s. One of Singapore’s first street performers, he started Singapore’s first juggling club at The Substation Garden.
