Sea of Darkness, Memory Shining from the Depths
Sea of Darkness, Memory Shining from the Depths
Darkness is in front, and light exists in the depths.
Substance and perception become ambiguous, and physical boundaries disappear.
The sea gently ebbs and flows in the eternity of time.
The black of the lines that trace the waves is darkness — that is, a state without light. However, the lines drawn by the darkness, which are void of matter or light, appear in front of the shimmering light and continue to flow.
To recognize existence does not involve the presence of objects or light.
Existence is born and shaped in relation to its surroundings.
Here, the waves are drawn through Ultrasubjective Space, and thus become a pictorial space that restores bodily freedom.
On the other hand, while the pictorial world is depicted on the screen, a strong shimmering light simultaneously covers that world. This shimmering light is caused by the light itself that depicts the world of waves reflecting on the surface of the screen.
The shimmering light continues to change with the passage of time, even if the viewer does not move. Furthermore, in response to the environment and the moving body of the viewer, its appearance changes, and shines from the depths of the pictorial world. While appearing across the entire screen, the shimmering light is an extremely personal light, existing only within the viewer's own perception.
The space created by this shimmering light is not an illusion of depth depicted on a flat painting. It is a space that emerges at that moment through the movement of the viewer's body and the light that depicts the world of waves.
The only physical material is copper. The pictorial space created by the group of shimmering points is generated within the relationship among the physical material, time, light, the environment, and the viewer's body, and emerges within the viewer's perception. While appearing on the screen, the pictorial space is continuous with the real space where the body exists, and expands into the depths of the pictorial space as a bodily space of light.
The bodily pictorial space drawn through Ultrasubjective Space and the bodily space of light created by the shimmering light overlap. There, the waves drawn by darkness, the copper surface, the shimmering light, the environment, and the viewer's body and perception interact with each other, and a boundless bodily pictorial world of light emerges, continuous with the space where the body exists.
