Ryoichi Fujisaki
The title of this exhibition Material Phenomenon comprehensively represents the essence of his work which Fujisaki creates through varied mediums including sculpture, photography and video. His sculpture work gypsum series consisted of accumulations of misted gypsum; his photography and video work colored oil and metaball series where he documents the spontaneous compositions of oil and water-based colors; and his other video work crash series where he consecutively crashes disused appliances and furnitures, involve multiple aspects in common while they seem not having connections with each other at first sight.
First of all, Fujisaki’s work extracts potential values of “materials.” Fujisaki, who worked as a technical director in various creative studios and platforms after completing his M.A. in the Department of Sculpture at Kyoto City University Graduate School of Arts, dramatically elevates familiar materials into prodigious expressions by combining his in-depth knowledge of “materials” with phenomenal elements.
Another citation could be found in his approach of extracting “conditions” and “states” which usually are missed and unnoticed. His works—originating from universal everyday motifs—are created under a heightened concentration with lured contingency by utilizing the physical as an intermedium, which result in a one-and-only presence that only Fujisaki could obtain.
Unconsciousness and concentration, progression and symbolism, physical and material, monaural and multilayered. Although his works may seem as though composed from opposite vectors contradicting with each other, its breathless aesthetics seem only to be generated within the “extreme neutrality” acquired through the mutual repulsions.
