Nichido Contemporary Art is delighted to represent the fifth group exhibition, "Identity". This exhibition is curated by Mr. Hiroshi Minamishima under the theme of "Identity" from his point of view.
In and Around Identity's Shadow
When I coincide with myself, or the world, a faint shadow creeps up on me from somewhere or other.
He/she slips into that slender threshold between me and myself, leaving behind only a slight sense of discomfort, insisting that "I" am "myself." Then he/she dissolves, and disappears someplace else.
The shadow of my identity controls who I "am": it desires that I be "me."
When I coincide with myself, or the world, a silent shadow calls out to me from somewhere or other.
He/she leaves the words that connect me to the world suspended in midair, spinning out their true sounds.
To be able to truly be one with myself and the world is not a matter of identity itself, but rather the pursuit of its shadow, its voice.
When I coincide with a single painting, where is that shadow concealed? What sort of voice is it trying to read the world with?
