Kyotaro Hakamada et al.

Kyotaro Hakamada is a "sculptor", but he is clearly doubtful of "sculpture". To him, form does not exist through foresight, form does not give birth to space, neither does space create form. Much less does it try to transfigure space. It is not an installation. If you were able to foresee form, it would be the rip within space that can simultaneously enter into existence with the artwork. It is the other imaginary space that can come into life through this rip. Sculpture is the summoning of necessary forms to maintain this space. Hakamada defines sculpture as "giving form to a place that has no form". Thus the work of a sculptor is strictly a solitary endeavour. It is only he that can find its beginning and its end. An imaginary space is created with its completion. Thus, it is in this given moment that the beginning is essentially the end, and the end, the beginning. Sculpture is the sewing together of this solitary time within that one instant in its creation.
