Yamadakazuki
This is the first solo museum exhibition by emerging mosaic artist Yamadakazuki, who composes images using traditional techniques and finely crushed, colorful stones. He focuses on the inherent “low resolution” of mosaics, which lack shadows and fine detail, and relates these visual qualities to the uncertain character of regional folk tales and myths, creating works that give form to ambiguous legends in stone.
In the works in this exhibition, the repetitive act of breaking stones in the mosaic-making process and the sounds of mountain-dwelling spirits reverberate through the forest like an echo. The exhibition features a selection of his key works to date, along with a new, large-scale work that draws on folklore associated with Hakone. In an age when precision and reproducibility are paramount, what are these quietly resonating voices of stone asking us?
