Since his debut novel in 1998, L’Eclipse, the major young writer Keiichiro Hirano has published a string of works reflecting his deep knowledge of Western culture, as well as displaying an visual experimentation with text through letter spacing and margins. Here Hirano takes on the role of guest curator and presents his artistic vision through a selection of works drawn primarily from the NMWA collection. Brought together under the title “Voices Calling from the Unusual”, the works here speak of Hirano’s personal artistic and visual sensibilities, with scenes of wonder and fascination, extending beyond the ordinary, accompanied by Hirano’s own analysis, bringing the visitor’s gaze to meet with that of his own.
