T+review
Time flows without stopping, whether it be the past, present, or future. No two moments are ever the same. This work captures such a "moment" on screen.
The exhibits were screenshots that had been blown up and printed out. It was interesting that they were not just photographs. In today's society, where the internet is widespread, screenshots are even easier than taking photographs. There are probably many viewers who use screenshots on a daily basis. The artist's idea of using such a casual, everyday action as a creative technique was unique. However, it was not something that the artist had drawn. It was a kind of act of presenting to us something that already exists. It was reminiscent of Duchamp's Fountain, known as a ready-made artist, and it must have given viewers a sense of the diversity of artistic expression.
A dichotomy emerged between the work and the caption. The work was given its title based on its latitude. Whether a factory is built on the land, a house is built on it, or the owner changes, the land continues to function as "land" and remains forever unchanged, although the way it is viewed changes. But what about the work itself? Leaving something as a work of art means capturing a moment on the screen. When you look at this work, you cannot deny the possibility that it is just a record of "that time" and that the "present" is a completely different scene. A relationship between eternity and ephemerality is born between the work and the title.
As for the exhibition as a whole, the greeting was easy for the viewer to understand, and it was an introduction that made it easy to get into the works, and it served as a foothold when appreciating them. In the greeting, I was also able to think about the artist's intention in using the word "stroll" while viewing the works.
This exhibition made me realize that the "present" we are living in is becoming the "past." (Takada Kazune)
