由台英法合製，入圍本屆坎城影展沉浸式競賽單元的「與火共舞：王羽佳鋼琴藝術沉浸展」，以「水」展現「火」的另一種樣貌。導演傑羅表示，火既能帶來生命，也能引發戰爭，其矛盾如人性，期待透過沉浸式藝術邀請觀眾加入冒險，在普世性主題中重新團結。在坎城的450平方公尺全投影空間中央，擺設一台真實的史坦威鋼琴，觀眾戴上無耳機頭戴式顯示器進場，可自由走向鋼琴，近距離觀察華裔美籍鋼琴家的虛擬演出；或遠離鋼琴，感受整體空間隨曲目變化而生成的「火」世界。傑羅說，他投入沉浸式影像創作，是因為他真心相信普世性、人性與集體精神。他希望當觀眾發現自己出現在作品中，並透過不斷變化的虛擬形象時，能感受到彼此之間的連結。

It is a Taiwanese-British-French co-produced immersive art installation, nominated in the Immersive Competition at the Cannes Film Festival, which features a virtual piano performance by Yuja Wang.
Who are the main creators behind 'Colored Fire'?
The project is a collaboration between Taiwan's HTC VIVE ARTS, France's Atlas V, and the UK's Lightroom. It is directed by Pierre-Alain Giraud, with visual art by Gabríela Friðriksdóttir and features pianist Yuja Wang.
What is the central theme of the artwork?
The artwork explores the contradictory nature of fire, which can both sustain life and cause destruction. The director likens this duality to the complexities of humanity.
How does the audience experience 'Colored Fire'?
In a 450-square-meter room with projections on all surfaces, audience members wear headset displays and can walk freely. They can approach a real piano to watch a virtual Yuja Wang perform or step back to be enveloped by a 'world of fire' that changes with the music, becoming part of the installation themselves.
Why does the work use water to represent fire?
The piece is framed by the poet Novalis's quote, 'Water is wet fire.' It begins with visuals of water that transform into fire, symbolizing the origin of life and the interconnectedness of these opposing elements to explore fire's multifaceted nature.
