Kenta Kobayashi
Kenta Kobayashi is an artist who pursues the relationship between technology and image culture by presenting photographic and video work based on his own photographs of cities, everyday scenes, and portraits that have been greatly transformed by digital editing.
In recent years, Kobayashi has collaborated with fashion brands to develop his work into various media such as clothing and has expanded the scope of his expression beyond the two-dimensional frame to three-dimensional.
His work, which is made up of vivid color compositions unique to digital technology, and in which a part of the image is abstracted like brush strokes in a painting or drawing, are the traces of communication with the subject in the different time frames of photography and image editing. The dynamic rhythm of the brushstrokes extends the static image both spatially and temporally.
In this exhibition, we will present a new work that examines the possibilities and contradictions of technology by playfully juxtaposing, reversing, and mutually intervening multiple images of night scenes taken in Shibuya.
In addition, from January 18 (Tuesday) to February 14 (Monday) a digital work in collaboration with media artist God Scorpion will be on view in the show window on the first floor of Building A.
