I turn over a new leaf
by Loh Xiang Yun
edition of 100
32 pages, Injet printing
245mm × 155mm, softcover
Brass fastener binding
ISBN 978-981-94-5436-5
This calendar-book offers a philosophical take on the idiom
Turn over a new leaf. The idiom dates back to the 16th century, when a book’s page was a leaf.
Each page invites you to turn another leaf, contemplating
simple lines that breathe life into the idiom.
Pressed with crisp, leaf-dry wit, it is an ideal companion
for anyone who enjoys insights touched with lightness.

Leipzig Photobook Festival 2026
Fragile Volumes – The photobook beyond paper – curated by Jenny Starick
HALLE 14 -
Centre for Contemporary Art
7 March - 2 April 2026
Loh Xiang Yun’s project “Organised Scenery,” which uses translucent images printed on chiffon to make visible the fragile boundary between nature and urban space. Such experimental approaches open up new perspectives on the photobook as an artistic medium: between the tactile and the immaterial, between spatial installation and book object, between photography and sculpture. “Fragile Volumes” understands the photobook not only as a carrier of images, but as an open space of possibilities that constantly reinvents itself precisely in its fragility.

Microscopic Images is an artist publication by Loh Xiang Yun that extends from her work as a scientific botanical illustrator at Singapore Botanic Gardens, an activity she describes as problem-solving in nature and taps on processes and ways of thinking in design. This publication investigates and presents an early incidental part of that process by looking into her archive of microscopic images created for drafting botanical illustrations in scientific publications. The book includes an A3-size botanical drawing of a fictional plant by the artist based on a set of microscopic images selected by Temporary Press.
