In a remarkable fusion of art and innovation, Porsche Singapore has joined forces with acclaimed artist Red Hong Yi to unveil The Red Thread: Past, Present, Future at ART SG 2025. This nine-meter (30-foot) installation, debuting at Southeast Asia’s largest art fair, celebrates both Singapore’s 60th anniversary of independence and Porsche’s enduring legacy of craftsmanship.
As the official automotive partner of ART SG, Porsche continues its tradition of blending creativity with cutting-edge design. The centerpiece of this collaboration, The Red Thread, draws inspiration from 60 distinct shades of red found in Porsche’s Paint-to-Sample catalog. Iconic hues such as Peru Red, Guards Red, and Carmine Red serve as a vibrant metaphor for Singapore’s six decades of progress, resilience, and identity.
Flanked by mirrors, the artwork creates a mesmerizing infinity effect, symbolizing the interconnectedness of time and legacy. A delicate fly line of the legendary Porsche 911 is subtly embedded within the installation, embodying the brand’s timeless design ethos and its journey of evolution.
Red Hong Yi, renowned for her imaginative use of unconventional materials, shared her perspective on the project: “Together with Porsche, we’ve created an artwork that speaks to the essence of time – how our past shapes our present and inspires our future.”
ART SG attendees at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre from January 17–19, 2025, will have the opportunity to experience this breathtaking piece. Porsche Studio Singapore is also hosting complementary events, including the unveiling of a bespoke 911 Dakar art car by Chris Dunlop and a thought-provoking panel discussion featuring both Dunlop and Red Hong Yi.
Yannick Ott, Marketing Director of Porsche Asia Pacific, emphasized the significance of the collaboration: “This partnership with Red Hong Yi highlights our dedication to creativity and progress while honoring tradition.”
Through The Red Thread, Porsche and Red Hong Yi have crafted more than just an installation—they have delivered a powerful tribute to heritage, innovation, and the limitless possibilities of the future.
