TRUE「真實」2023

Being “true” can be depicted as reality, the opposite of false and authentic. It is the definition of what is genuine. Life can play tricks, and truth can sometimes be lost or misinterpreted. This exhibition will focus on creatives exploring what is “true self” and “true form”. Certain obstacles and uncertainties can jeopardise our perception and identity, however, understanding our truth and identity initiates our path.

This exhibition invites artists from the U.K to celebrate their practice by investigating the subject matter of “true”. Each artist represents their “true” form and self through different applications and mediums to portray how they perceive to be “true”. The true self can be seen as psychological essentialism; humans have an essence that is important to their own identity. However, is fitting into a category to feel comfortable with their truth the only way to be one’s true self?

This exhibition is not about answering the questions but to identify one’s true form is a way to progress in one’s journey through life. Being your true self is non-conceptual; it already existed before anything else. Being able to discover the existence of your truth will allow you to be your true self.

True is seen as something right, correct, and real. However, there’s no clear way how one can see what is true to them but the underlying acceptance within and self-discovery. This exhibition welcomes these artists to share their interpretations of what is “true” through personal and third-person perspectives with tools that are artificial and natural.


「真實」可被理解為現實、虛假的相反和真切,亦是「真正」與「真摯」定義。生命有時使人混亂不已,使「真實」被遺忘或曲解。本次展覽將會展出不同探索「真我」和「真實形態」的作品。不同的障礙和不確定性或會影響我們對自我的理解及身份認同,但我們可以透過認識自己的「真實」和身份來創建屬於自己的道路。

本次展覽誠邀了幾位來自英國的藝術家,向大眾分享及展出他們以「真實」為主題的作品。每位藝術家都透過不同方式及媒介來表達他們「真實模樣」和「自我」,並闡述他們對「真實」的理解。「真我」可以被視為一種心理本質主義;每個人都擁有一個對於自我身份認同的關鍵要素。然而,透過融入大眾、漸被同化來接納自己的「真實」,真的是締造「真我」的唯一方式嗎?

本次展覽並不會回答以上的問題,卻會幫助大家明白到確立自己的「真實模樣」能使人在生命的旅程中成長。成為真正的自己並非流於概念;它已經確實地存在。發現你自己「真實」的存在能幫助你成為「真我」。

「真實」被視為與「正確」和「真正」有關。然而,人們如何理解「真實」根本沒有特定的方式,其關鍵反而是在於內心中的自我接納和自我發現。本次展覽將會向大家分享這些藝術家在個人和第三人稱的視角下對「真實」的理解和定義。
