“卡丘之域”起源于“卡-丘空间”，是超越人类感知范围的第四至第十的高纬度空间的统称，即我们心中的乌托邦在现世中并不存在，但他并不是纯粹的“无”，或许在某一个纬度、在未来的某一个时间里他就是现实，而意志是可以超越自身的感知局限，去发现、创造。
卓悦（Joy Yue Zhuo）善于将感知到的客观世界转化为艺术作品进行表达呈现，通过对内在灵感的深刻挖掘，将现实中的物件、生物实体解构重组，以个人独特的主观视角，打破对客观事物的常规认知。卓悦在此次展出的作品中不乏浪漫主义特征，是将情感、想象力以及个人体验置于艺术作品中，这种超乎理性的感知是对周遭事物，不顾现实，不合逻辑甚至荒诞的理解。她的创作更多是探索现实原型与自身感知之间的关系，在某种程度上通过绘画、摄影、装置等一系列手段，将观者引领至她所创造的“乌托邦”。而卓悦所构建的“乌托邦”不同于弗朗西斯·培根以科学主宰着一切为宗旨的新大西岛，也异于康帕内拉和托马斯·莫尔所主张的实行共产、均分的理想社会，卓悦的“乌托邦”更多是一个追寻童趣且充满幻想色彩的领域，是通向意志自由的旷野。这正如尼采曾提出一个观念，即“人的主观意识是世上万物的主宰，也是历史发展进程的根本动因，本能欲望具有无限能动性。”
本次展览通过卓悦的艺术品与空间相辅相成，共同演绎艺术家心中关于“乌托邦”的意象。同时，也希望能以此次展览为契机，能让更多观者与艺术作品产生更为深刻的情感共鸣，一同思考及感受意志的力量。
陈旭峰/文
The concept of the ‘Utopian Fantasy’ is derived from the ‘Calabi-Yau Space’, which refers to the high latitude space beyond the range of human perception, specifically from the fourth to the tenth latitude. While this utopia of the mind does not exist in the present world, it is not considered to be pure ‘nothing’. It is possible that it may become a reality in a certain latitude at a certain time in the future, and human willpower can transcend the limits of its own perception to discover and create. However, it is important to consider that he cannot be simply dismissed as ‘nothing’. Depending on the context and circumstances, he may have the potential to become a reality. It is worth noting that the will has the ability to surpass its own limitations and discover new possibilities.
Additionally, Joy Yue Zhuo possesses a talent for transforming the objective world into art, which he skillfully employs for the purposes of expression and presentation. Through the deep excavation of inner inspiration, he deconstructs and reorganizes the objects and biological entities in reality, and breaks the conventional cognition of objective things with his unique subjective perspective. Joy Yue Zhuo's works in this exhibition are characterised by romanticism. This style incorporates emotion, imagination and personal experience into the artwork. However, it is important to note that this approach can lead to subjective evaluations. Joy Yue Zhuo's work may be perceived as an illogical and even absurd understanding of the surrounding things, disregarding reality. It is worth considering that this approach is more inclined towards a kind of expression of ‘I-orientation thinking’. Joy Yue Zhuo's creations explore the relationship between real archetypes and her own perception. Through paintings, photographs, installations, and other means, she invites viewers to experience the utopia she envision. This utopia differs from Francis Bacon's New Atlantis, where science dominates everything, and from the ideal society of communism and equalization advocated by Tommas Campanella and Thomas More. Joy Yue Zhuo's artwork ‘Utopia’ presents an imaginative realm that celebrates the freedom of will. As Nietzsche once suggested, subjective consciousness is the driving force behind historical development, and instinctive desires have unlimited mobility.
This exhibition showcases Joy Yue Zhuo's interpretation of ‘Utopia’ through her artwork. Simultaneously, this exhibition seeks to offer a chance for the audience to establish a profound emotional connection with the artworks and to recognise the strength of determination.

Joy Yue Zhuo designs furniture and objects to express her utopian fantasy to the audience. She hopes users can imagine the fantasy through the interaction with her furniture and objects. While people are interacting or observing her works, they will become part of the fantasy. Joy Zhuo’s works are the NPCs (nonplayer characters) of a game she created herself called Utopian Fantasy.
Joy Yue Zhuo’s works are creature-istic, anthropomorphic, and always interactive. They are inspired by nature and everyday life. Joy’s works express her appreciation for the underwater world and the internet. Her designs beg for interaction and play. Wander around one of Joy’s pieces for a couple of seconds, test it, play with it, and through interaction, her furniture will be happy to share with you everything they know. Meanwhile, Joy loves adding surprises into her pieces, giving them a sense of humor, a point of interaction and exchange. Joy Yue Zhuo wants people to say, “ Oh, how joyful!” when interacting with her works.
