In Reverie by Benedict Yu

In the fast-paced urban environment of Singapore, digital screens serve as mirrors reflecting our simultaneous pursuit of instant gratification and an intrinsic longing for love and connection. In "In Reverie", artist Benedict Yu explores the intimate, untold stories that unfold behind these screens through the lens of Virtual Reality (VR). The exhibition presents a compelling interplay of virtual avatars and paper-folding boats—collaborative creations between the artist and individuals, each embodying raw expressions of human vulnerability, past traumas, moments of healing, and profound connection.

These stories transcend two dimensions, transforming into vivid, multi-dimensional testaments to the intricate emotional fabric of modern connection.

Hosted at Domain 603, an industrial sanctuary blending the digital with the deeply personal, "In Reverie" invites visitors to engage with immersive spaces that challenge traditional narratives of intimacy and identity. As you navigate the exhibition, you are encouraged to reflect on the unseen depths of human connection and imagine how technology can reshape our understanding of love, empathy, and healing in an increasingly digitised world.
