Tomonari Nakayashiki 脳 Takayuki Mitsushima銆圱he Ones Who See銆�
This exhibition will focus on two artists. The first artist, Takayuki Mitsushima, is fully blind, while the second, Tomonari Nakayashiki, is he has color blindness. Both artists perceive the world in their own unique ways, offering an opportunity for visitors to reconsider what it means to 鈥渟ee".
Mitsushima expresses the shape of the city through a series of nails hammered into wooden panels at a variety of angles and elevations. This approach transposes the images he obtains from his daily life, including using a white cane, into different, textural sensations. Nakayashiki, on the other hand, decouples common sense from perception, such as the assumption that distant things look small, or that the past and the future can鈥檛 be seen simultaneously. At the same time, his unique approach to color value imbues the motifs in his work with a new sense of existence.
This exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to directly touch the artwork. Opening up the work to a range of sensory experiences in this way creates new encounters regarding the act of seeing, and encourages a reexamination of what we consider to be shared awareness. We hope this exhibition will contribute to a future where a richer worldview has been created in the minds of the visitors.
