SINGAPORE - A short film by Singapore artists Mark Chua and Lam Li Shuen has come out tops in a prize for young artists who create digital art.
The Cup, a surreal story of a man with a brewing machine for a head, was born amid the isolation of last year s circuit breaker period.
Chua, 29, and Lam, 25, received US$15,000 (S$19,890) for their black-and-white video, which won in the Moving Image category of the Julius Baer Next Generation Art Prize.
The inaugural award by the Swiss private banking group was announced in November last year, with an open call to South-east Asian artists aged 18 to 40.
