Eiki Mori
This exhibition, “Family Regained,” will be comprised of a selection of Eiki Mori’s latest works from a photo book of the same title to be published from Nanarokusha in fall 2017. The title is borrowed from the epic “Paradise Regained” (1671) by English poet John Milton. With family as a theme, Mori shoots himself with friends, lovers, and families at their places using the self-timer function. Filtered through the fundamental color of blood, a red scenery arises apart from its surrounding society, as if a theatrical act. The concentration of this theme implies retrieving and connecting with those who live together, a microcosmos of the social community in diversified forms and sexualities. It is an observation of the family, a sociological performance that sublimates the visual art medium, and an aesthetical or political aim to spread a visualized and acknowledgeable image. Mori’s photography and contemporary families synchronize to form an insight into today’s idea of a family. “Reincarnate, reencounter, re-love and live together. I explore the aspiration dreamed by many lovers, envisioning happiness and love. I go and meet the family in the future on the behalf of them,” Mori says. Emphasized in theatrical living spaces with his friends, this new series by Mori catapults viewers to solidarity, cohesion, and the spirits of those connected.
