You definitely see nothing but yourself in mirror images or shadows as reflections of your own will and behavior, but with some additional operation by yourself, it is even possible to identify something that doesn't look like you as being yourself. Incorporating an application for moving characters on a screen, which suddenly switch to different characters and give you a sensation as if having been reset; and the experience of trying to locate your invisible alter ego relying solely on your own heartbeat, this exhibition will inspire you to contemplate on such concepts as "oneself but not oneself" or "oneself perceived by oneself."

FUJIKI Jun
Born 1978. Doctor of Design. He continues his creative work from the standpoint of a researcher, creating among others illusionism-themed interactive works. The "Echochrome" game based on the "OLE Coordinate System," one of Fujiki's works, went on sale by Sony Computer Entertainment in 2008. Based on the relationship between principle and expression, his studies focus on the laws of physics and mankind, and the construction of new relationships between them. His current subject is that of materialization, using single materials to produce various kinds of textures and phenomena. He presently works as a PRESTO Researcher at the Japan Science and Technology Agency, JST researcher at Tokyo University of the Arts, and part-time lecturer at Musashino Art University.
