Yosuke Amemiya "Translator's High"
This event has ended.
At Yuka Sasahara Gallery
Media: Video installation
Following on from his last exhibit, "The World" (shown at Boice Planning in Autumn 2005, Mito Art Tower 2005-2006, BankART NYK Yokohama 2006), Yosuke Amemiya brings to the Yuka Sasahara gallery an installation piece featuring "reflective" videos. The exhibition involves a monitor showing footage of the installation space, placed inside the exhibition space itself. Thus, the audience watches video footage of the space in which they stand, creating a loop, or alternate dimention of sorts. A reality within a reality... or a fiction within fiction?
The title "Translator's High" refers to the high that translators experience after being immersed in the act of translation for a long time. The word "translation" here not only refers to converting from one language to another; it also encompasses the act of "translating" information from the outside and internalizing within oneself.

Japan Times Art Brief
By Samantha Sinnayah
One problem with video art is that the screen's two-dimensional world can't always hold its audience. What to buy for dinner, the pressures of work or the simple fact that often there's no space to sit, sometimes seem more pressing. At Yosuke Amemiya's current show however, thoughts of dinner maybe a little easier to ignore...
