Hideki Makiguchi
What is the visual texture of presence?
Hideki Makiguchi, born in Sapporo and currently based in Tokyo, began photographing the many 'places' that lurk in our world on a single day in 2009. Focusing on the very existence of space itself, his photographs clearly show signs of something that transcends the formality of the subject.
The artist's exploration of existence led to a series of more than 100 drawings, in which he depicted the 'appearances' of existence that emerged in front of his eyes, like a diary. Sometimes standing upright like a stick, sometimes like an indentation in a wall, the figures change slightly from day to day and are delicately drawn in black on postcard-sized paper.
The exhibition will include these photographs and drawings produced over 14 years of confrontation with existence, as well as the publication of the artist's first book of photographic works, A Place.
