The exhibitions are to be held at the Atrium Gallery, recently established to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Pola Museum of Art. The current exhibition consists of three installations. It exposes the presence of viewers and a projector itself through reflections of the light in mirrors arranged around the screen.
It is a three-dimensional sculptural work combining the latest technology of 3D printing with data from old films. It is intentionally difficult to comprehend, meaning that its innovative expression is not discernable with preconceptions about film. The artists chose to show the zigzags of electrical wires as errors on Google Street View of the Tokyo sky. They added optical glass, a material they became familiar with in their research at Studio Olafur Eliasson, to the mirrors they normally used in their works.
The contemporary distortions in Tokyo sky vividly emerges through the multiple images and rich color produced by the optical glass along with the mirror reflection repetitions of cut-off electrical wire images. Film as a media was new and the nature of film was not understood.
Something unique or absolute may no longer exist. How can we make choices in our diverse world, and by what means can we come to understand what we see? They launched in Yokohama, their birthplace, and developed as artists in Asia, mainly China, prior to receiving the Pola Art Foundation grant and moving their base to Berlin.
They are currently engaged in research and development for documentation of Studio Olafur Eliasson, who is the famous artist for its sophisticated large-scale installations incorporating natural elements such as light, water, and fog.
