Mari Minato/Daisuke Nagaoka

Galerie Yukiko Kawase (new space), Paris

In today's world-wide uprising social environments, we tend to watch the events cut up, and then take them for granted. The internet and social networking services contribute and accelerate this point of view. We would ask and redefine our view of the world with the metaphors created by two Japanese artists. “Blind Spot” is the shadow of our perception, in-between of reality and mirage, next to the presentiment of the moment of sudden disarray.

Mari Minato's two channel video installation , contrasting the heavy creative tension at one side and the loose voyeuism attitude or silent indifference at the opposite.

Daisuke Nagaoka's new video installation ''Shadows of the Carve'' effectively uses an old fashioned overhead projector to show certain anxiety which surrounds our era. We watch a shadow theater of the various carved figures without realizing that the whole things might go disappearing in darkness when the light turned off.
