Solo Exhibition / 2014
IN THE PINHOLE
Book & Gallery POPOTAME, Tokyo
TEXT
Text by the artist
The sun coming in through the pinhole
A world lit up as though inside pitch darkness
What we believe we are seeing is no more than light being felt
No one has seen the true form
Does complete darkness exist?
The presence of light is what makes sight possible.
From sight, beauty is born, and value is born.
Each person looks for a relative beauty,
and beauty shifts with the era and with each subjective view.
Does absolute beauty exist?
A beauty that human consciousness cannot reach
exists inside complete darkness,
in a space where light does not exist,
because subjectivity does not exist there.
The light that makes us recognise the existence of darkness is the most beautiful light next to perfect beauty.
From the press release for the exhibition at Book & Gallery POPOTAME, 2014
