Exhibition Statement |
|
ECOTONE（Translated by AI.） |
Collage brings different things together by cutting and assembling
fragments from existing media, creating new landscapes. The sense of
dissonance and intrigue produced by mismatched scales, accidental
overlaps, and the temporal axis created through layers. By rearranging
existing images and contexts, I have continued to create new
relationships.
For this exhibition, I edit landscapes in which the
boundaries and contours of what is seen become ambiguous―like a view
through a window seen through blinds, or a scene viewed through an
out-of-focus lens―by collaging and layering images onto acrylic
sheets. The layered acrylic collage functions as a device that creates
depth between images, capturing a space where contours and images
merge.
As in an ecotone, where different environments such as land
and water, or forests and grasslands, gradually intermingle, the
boundaries between different images and materials become increasingly
blurred as they overlap.
Like a landscape continually edited by
light, time, reflection, and memory, layered images are not fixed as a
single, definitive image. Instead, they reveal different expressions
depending on the viewer’s position and distance.
When different
things encounter one another, boundaries begin to shift, and a new
landscape emerges in between. This space is what I understand as
ECOTONE.
