Yuriko Sasaoka
With her original approach to making “video based on painting,” Yuriko Sasaoka explores the interface between painting and video, by creating works that suggest “touches” similar to brushstrokes. Her technique combines filmed body parts such as faces and hands with low-tech videos of puppet shows that include stage assistants dressed in black and are reminiscent of SFX. Featuring visual noise typically absent from high-tech computer graphics, she invites the viewer to experience complex structures and stories in a unique world that is paradoxically nostalgic yet never-before-seen.
This exhibition features a video installation that interprets and visualizes the Bible, which Sasaoka began reading after the death of her dog. The exhibition title “command X” refers both to The Ten Commandments and the shortcut keys used on an Apple Mac computer for cutting (command + X). Composed with an original language, “Hororu”, created to evoke the artist’s sense of being interconnected within a Japanese cultural context that often has less overt religious beliefs, a stage space where real and unreal emerge into each other as a new space unfolds.
