【Description】

This video work will be completed as a work of art, including the episodes related to this.

Whether you have seen the video first or are about to see it, please read on.

I had a magical experience with these 9 works of art.

It is “everything I see feels like art.

When I walk out the front door, the scenery I normally see without thinking about it feels like an art photograph.

Even the comforter I wake up to in the morning looks like a work of art.

Let me tell you about the first time I felt that.

It happened one holiday late afternoon when I went out to shop for dinner.

Just before I left home I was on my own bed.

I lay in bed looking at these 9 works of art, remembering what had happened the day before.

The day before, I visited an art photo gallery.

It was my first time visiting the gallery.

The gallery was hosting a solo exhibition of an artist.

Several monochrome art photographs are on display.

After admiring the work for a while, I asked the gallery owner this question,

“Is there a story to this piece?”

The owner thought for a moment and then replied,

“No, there is no story in this works.

This work is contemporary art.

Contemporary art is an expression of the present moment.

Right now. The present moment. It expresses what is about to happen.

So at this point there is no story to this works.

Because the story of this work is what you, the viewers, are going to create.”

It was the first time I had heard the term.

I had never thought about that before.

My susceptible beast turned all its attention to the owner’s words.

The owner then continued the story.

“The photos in this exhibit are priced, but the photos themselves are not worth much.

It is just a printed photo. Not much different from the photos we usually take with our smartphones.

So why is art photography worth paying for?

If, by looking at a work of art, a person is able to gain something new, such as a discovery or a sense of value that he or she has never felt before, then we can say that the photograph was valuable to that person.

So we pay for it.

If you don’t get anything out of it, it’s just another printed photo.”

I thought deeply about this on my quiet bed.

I thought deeply about it as I watched these 9 just-completed works.

Am I able to discover something new by appreciating art?

What discoveries can I make?

Can this work of mine be of value to the viewer?

With this in mind, I slowly looked at each of the nine pieces of art I had just completed on my smartphone screen.

The orange work reminded me of the orange curtains at my grandmother’s house and made me nostalgic.

For some reason, the yellow-green work brought to mind a scene of my daughter dancing at a field day under a clear blue sky.

The red works seemed somehow nostalgic and scary, but also appealing to me to cherish something about them.

Orange, yellow-green, red, and other colors.

Each color has its own different feelings.

Some remind me of the past, while others make me feel somewhat strange.

I felt like I was in a world that was vaguely a little different from reality.

It was a quiet time, with the sound of children playing in the distance coming from outside the house.

Before I knew it, it was already late afternoon.

It was time for the sky to turn a little orange.

It’s time to go shopping for dinner ingredients.

I changed out of my pajamas.

Then I put on my shoes and casually walked out the front door as usual.

Scenery that we see every day. Scenery that passes us by on a daily basis without making us feel anything. Scenery that should be nothing.

There I had a strange experience.

The landscapes I see in my eyes look like works of art !!

I headed for the bicycle parking lot.

The rows of bicycles lined up in front of me are also works of art.

It’s like some kind of art filter applied to the photo.

It spreads out before my eyes and plays as an image.

I rode my bicycle through its works of art.

It was really strange.

I had never experienced anything like this before.

Now! The present! What unfolds before my eyes. An art phenomenon happening on the same time line as me.

Maybe this is contemporary art. That’s what I thought.

Since then, with a little awareness, I have come to perceive everything I see as art.

Even the distortion of my comforter that I see when I wake up in the morning looks like a piece of creative art.

If I go outside, I’ll find myself inundated with creations.

Take road signs, for example. I can imagine the scene of the workers who installed them at that time.

What were the workers thinking as they worked?

Were they working while just hoping to get the job done quickly?

Or did he have faith in his work and insist on even subtle angle adjustments?

This road sign is definitely here now by the workers.

This world is a treasure trove of art.

This episode and these 9 works of artwork are strongly connected in my mind.

This work is an important work for me because it led me to new discoveries.

【How to view video works】

  • Please be sure to view the exhibition alone in a quiet environment.
  • Please be sure to view the site in full screen mode. You can use your phone, tablet, computer monitor, or whatever.
  • The slideshow consists of 9 slideshows, but the order in which you view the slideshows is irrelevant. You can pause at any color you like and take your time to appreciate the works as you would a painting in a museum.
  • Open your senses to the fullest. This is the sensation of receiving all the images that are created when you see each color.
  • Please view this work not only once, but many times to feel various images. I also view this work many times. Each time, a different image always comes to mind.

The concept of my work is “color.

Color is very stimulating to the human mind.

I am sure it will help in stimulating your image.

If there are 10 people, there will be 10 different ways of seeing and feeling.

I would be insanely happy if you could comment on how you felt about it, if you would like.
