Takashi Kunitani + Miyuki Yokomizo “Floating Figure”

Ozasahayashi_Project

This event has ended.

Within the environment of an old, crumbling Japanese-style home, Miyuki Yokomizo makes use of rectangular blocks made from thin plastic plate and tape as a medium to express light. The blocks pile up, as if they were filling the lost time and space of the old house. The light which is projected into the block wall floats through the transparent film like a spirit. The strands of neon glass pieces which Takashi Kunitani has blown resemble a rosary as they react to Yokomizo’s wall. The light of the neon doesn’t shine, but it is a quiet, trembling light. It feels like a vague marker between the past and the present which emerges from space and air. Viewers are surrounded by floating light, coalesced time and air, arranged by two artists, and are enveloped within, unseen, evoking a sense of lost imagined landscapes.
When made possible, it is a wonderful experience to sense the aroma enveloped within a space, to touch its colors and touch its luminosity. That which can be understood, known and imagined through the five senses is important for us to guide ourselves deep within the self. Kunitani and Yokomizo create a form that consists of a fragment of sensibility form their experience and imagination through which we can perceive many things.
