The video chronicles the painting of the Alkaff Bridge in Singapore by artist Pacita Abad. The idea of painting the Bridge came during coffee breaks while being an artist-in-residence at STPI. The ArtBridge was painted in 7 weeks in December 2003 and January 2004, while Pacita was undergoing daily radiotherapy, as the cancer had spread to her spinal canal and brain. The ArtBridge was inaugurated on January 29, 2004.
