Woman arrested for damaging arts sculpture at Changi Airport

SINGAPORE: A woman has been arrested for damaging the Kinetic Rain arts sculpture at Changi Airport Terminal 1.

Responding to queries from Channel NewsAsia, police said they have arrested a woman in her 30s in connection with the incident, and that investigations are on-going.

A video showing the woman, in a white dress, traipsing on the Kinetic Rain arts installation at Changi Airport Terminal 1 has been making the rounds online.

The officers made the arrest at the scene after receiving a call for help at 8.28am on Saturday.

Channel NewsAsia understands that the woman is not a local and that she is still under detention.

A Channel NewsAsia viewer said that part of the installation was still functioning around 1pm on Sunday, but appeared to be shut down later on.

In a separate statement, Changi Airport said the sculpture was damaged by a member of public on Saturday.

"We have referred the matter to the police and our engineers are arranging for the sculpture to be repaired," an airport spokesman said.

Kinetic Rain is the centrepiece of the newly-renovated Terminal 1, and is said to be the world's largest kinetic sculpture. - CNA/ac/de

Woman arrested after damaging sculpture at Changi Airport

She appeared calm, and wore a dazed look on her face.

With fluid-like movements, she waltzed on the metallic safety netting about one storey above the ground and “picked” at “raindrops” coming down at her.

The Kinetic Rain sculpture, the largest kinetic sculpture in the world, was part of the terminal’s $500-million makeover.

The incident happened in front of shocked passers-by at the departure check-in hall of Changi Airport’s Terminal 1 on Saturday morning.

Videos and pictures of the woman, who’s in her 30s, were posted on social media sites and quickly viral yesterday.

Ms Doreen Teo, an office administrator in her late 30s, told TNP yesterday: “My first impression was she was doing some performance and I was looking out for the big camera. But there was none.”

The woman was arrested under the Mental Health Act and police are investigating.
