One day in the summer garden.
Spatial presentation using illustrations.
T+review
On Monday, I was surprised at the transformation of the gallery, which was visible even from the outside.
I stopped in my tracks. Looking closely, I noticed a familiar pattern on the glass of the gallery.
There was a plant that I couldn't see. It was as if it was leading me there.
When you open the door, you will first see a desk in the middle of the gallery.
On the desk was a piece of paper that looked like letter paper and an incomplete drawing.
What on earth is this? It is at the entrance.
The attached caption will tell you."As summer draws to an end
He comes into this room.
There are plants in the garden I've never seen before
It grows to cover the entire area.
Here he looks at and draws the plants.
Sometimes I spend my time writing letters to people.And before autumn comes,
And then they go back somewhere else.”This is the room and garden where "he" comes.
Looking around, I saw several small wooden frames hanging on the walls.
The illustrations of plants displayed in wooden frames are delicate.
The delicate touch of the painting makes the plants seem ephemeral.
The sight of the leaves and stems swaying and the petals scattering their colors.
These plants seemed to be dancing in the wind.
are varieties with stems and leaves that resemble ribbons or pearl necklaces.
There are varieties with petals that look like ballerina tutus.
There are times when I feel a feminine flamboyance in real plants.
But the plants in this garden are directly feminine and feminine.
I felt like I was looking at the plants themselves.
I wonder if this is really the case.
No, he won't let me grasp his true identity.
The paintings on the desks and the works on display in this room
I wonder if the items were painted by "him."
His presence is so overwhelming that the presence of the exhibitor is also overwhelming.
The presence of us viewers who step between the two places is also a sign of "him."
It seems to blend into the world around it, both in the room and in the garden.
Those in this space can see the numbers scattered around the desk.
Even a single leaf looks like a carpet of countless plants.
Even if it is a virtual space, I feel like I am there.
It is a fact for those who have seen it.
On the way out, I noticed some "real" plant leaves lying near the exit.
I was instantly brought back to reality.
Even if I looked back, the carpet of plants was no longer visible.
There was none. (Yuki Hashimoto)
