Hajime Imamura

Imamura has long been interested in states where contradictions coexist—such as movement and stillness occurring simultaneously—and has incorporated motifs like spinning tops and pendulums into his work. At the core of this exhibition is an installation composed of multiple funnel-shaped orange PVC sheets, suspended from the ceiling in the form of mobiles. As they spin continuously, each element subtly influences the others, allowing the entire gallery space to drift gently as a whole.

The tapered ends of the funnels connect to discs below, which in turn trace slow circular movements, slightly delayed. Viewers are invited to stand within this environment, sensing and absorbing the motion with their bodies—an immersive, experiential exhibition.

In addition, Imamura is presenting kinetic sculptures, vividly colored drawings, and experimental video works that skillfully capture the disjunctions between vision and perception.

We invite you to experience these works, all of which are underpinned by philosophical concepts such as life and death, time, and existence.
