| Preface |
|
Sanematsu Akira is an installation
artist who from his various earliest pieces has been preoccupied with
the subject of light. His works make use of Fresnel lenses and apply
the principles of the camera obscura to give a truly quiet, still
impression, but behind them lies a tenacious adherence to the idea
of questioning the viewer專 visual sense through a use of light that
is consciously constructed.
In this new work by the artist, titled メHorizontal Tone,モ two images
of white noise are shown in separate bands, one above the other, in
a corner of the gallery. These images are divided by a single horizontal
line. As the sound of white noise is heard in the exhibition space,
the sound changes synchronically with the changes in the white noise
images. This piece is extremely simple in its construction, but its
effect is to enable viewers of the exhibition to experience the feeling
of being in a hypnotic state, completely wrapped in the light and
sound of "noise."During the exhibition, there will also be a performance
by the artist with two co-performers on the theme of メvoiceモムsomething
that the artist has been experimenting with in recent years.
