WHAT
The Kyoto-based artist (b.1971) is known for installation works based on photographs from varied sources, exploring themes of time and dimension in relation to present spaces. The artist’s first solo exhibition at the gallery features new sculptures composed of multiplied everyday objects, where they are brought to life through a subtle interplay of light and reflection. The artist blends elements from photography, design, and architecture, creating optical illusions that challenge viewers’ perceptions of time and space.

WHY
The artist’s work operates beyond language, communicating on a visceral level. By transforming static objects into dynamic forms, the sculptures invite viewers to experience the fluidity of time and space. The innovative use of light and reflection creates a transformative experience, making the familiar seem unfamiliar and engaging viewers in a dialogue about perception and reality.
