Through memory, digressions, and echoes of literature and history, The Lamplighter gathers fragments of a vanished past in an analogical manner inspired by Enzo Melandri’s La Linea e il Circolo, retold through the solitary ritual of a man lighting lamps at dusk. No One Lit the Lamp turns inward: within the home, the glow reveals both the intimacies of domestic life between neighbours and the stains that remain under its light.

At its heart lies the story of a Baghdadi Jewish man in 1930s Singapore. His recollections ripple across time: fleeting encounters with Japanese neighbours before the war, meditations on exile and belonging, and reflections on the fragile thresholds between shadow and light, between walls and the lives divided by them—on the eve of a world soon to be torn apart by war.

The building in which this story unfolds is the very one that now houses The Private Museum, where the work is exhibited

通过记忆、离题和文学与历史的回声，《点灯人》以一种类比的方式收集了一个消逝过去的碎片，这种方式受到恩佐·梅兰德里的《线与圆》的启发，通过一个人在黄昏点灯的孤独仪式重新讲述。 《没有人点亮灯》向内探寻：在家中，微光既揭示了邻里之间家庭生活的亲密关系，也暴露了在其光芒下留下的污点。


其核心是一个1930年代新加坡巴格达犹太人的故事。 他的回忆穿越时光：在战争前与日本邻居的短暂邂逅，对流亡和归属的沉思，以及对阴影与光明之间、墙壁与被墙壁分隔的生活之间脆弱阈限的反思——在一个即将被战争撕裂的世界的前夕。
