Exhibition & Artwork Write up
What is the color of the different cultures, love, and understanding in our virtual and digital age? And how do we embrace and cloth on our inclusive cultural understanding onto our physical/digital avatars? Embark on a journey through the virtual and digital world with Benedict Yu, a transdisciplinary visual artist who encompasses a rich cultural background traveling through France, Germany, Spain, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan. Recently he was invited to exhibit for Singapore Art Week in January and is currently having his solo exhibition in Seoul titled, “Candlelight in the Dark.” Using Virtual Reality (VR) and 3D painting, Benedict interviews and collects recorded stories in multiple languages to explore their unique cultural understanding of what is love and compassion.
This exhibition invites you to listen to these diverse stories from all over the globe in both their mother tongues and the common language English, fostering a collective effort to build a better cross-cultural environment for our virtual and digital future.
在虚拟数位时代，不同文化、爱与理解的数位色彩是什么？我们又该如何将这种包容性的文化理解融入并穿戴于我们的实体与数位化身上？
我们邀请您一起与我们踏上一场虚拟与数位世界的探索之旅，与跨领域视觉艺术家 Benedict Yu 一同思考这些重要问题。Benedict 拥有丰富的文化背景，曾游历法国、德国、西班牙、韩国、日本、新加坡与台湾。近期他在一月受邀于 新加坡艺术周（Singapore Art Week）展出个展《狂想曲进行式》（In Reverie），以及目前正在首尔展出他的个展 《烛光映黑暗》（Candlelight in the Dark）。
透过虚拟实境（VR）与 3D 绘画，Benedict 访谈并收录来自世界各地的多语言故事，探索不同文化对于爱与关怀的独特讨论。这场展览邀请您以各地母语与我们的共通语言英语，聆听这些来自世界各地的多元故事，共同促进跨文化的交流，为我们的虚拟与数位未来建立更包容的环境。
Artwork 1：Stories in the Sky 空中里的故事
This artwork documents a collection of 100 stories, shared in the form of paper boats floating within a virtual reality sanctuary. As part of the exhibition “In Reverie” in Singapore during 2025 Singapore Art Week, the artist interviews individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, preserving their voices within immersive virtual spaces. Audiences actively contribute by writing their own stories in their mother tongues accompanied with English translation, folding them into paper boats, and placing them within the physical exhibition. This interplay between the virtual and physical realms creates a bridge across cultures and languages, offering deeply personal narratives of resilience, identity, and human connection.
这件艺术作品记录了一百个故事，以纸船的形式漂浮于虚拟实境之中。作为 2025 年新加坡艺术周 In Reverie 展览的一部分，艺术家访谈来自不同文化背景的个体，并将他们的录音保存在沉浸式的虚拟空间中。参观展览的观众也积极参与，透过自己的母语书写故事，并附上英语翻译，将其折成纸船，并放置在实体展览中。这种虚拟与现实空间的交织，搭建了一座跨越文化与语言的桥梁，呈现关于集体情感韧性、身份认同与人类连结的深刻个人叙事。
Artwork 2：Candlelight in the Dark 烛光映黑暗
This artwork captures the convergence and dissolution of two spiritual avatars as they embrace within a timeless virtual sanctuary. Stripped of physical boundaries, the luminous forms flicker and fade, embodying the fleeting yet profound nature of human encounters. These flames may represent oneself, a loved one, a stranger, or a distant soul whose presence is felt beyond words. Much like passing a candle’s flame from hand to hand, the work reflects an exchange of memory, presence, and shared light. In departure and remembrance, fear gives way to love, illuminating the unseen bonds that connect us across cultures, languages, and experiences.
黑暗中的烛光
这件作品捕捉了两个灵性化身在永恒的虚拟空间中相遇、交融与消逝的瞬间。当物理界限被剥除，光影闪烁、浮现又消退，象征人与人之间相遇的短暂却深远的意义。这两道光芒可以代表自己、挚爱、陌生人，甚至是一位从未谋面的灵魂，但其存在却能被深深感知。正如烛光的传递，这件作品展现了记忆、存在与共享之光的交换。在离别与回忆之间，恐惧转化为爱，照亮我们超越文化、语言与经历的无形联系。
