Masako Yasuki

Masako Yasuki has been depicting real places with her unique methods and techniques of reporting. In this exhibition, “Procession of Light - Exposed Time, Invisible Forms," a single city is brought to life from multiple perspectives. By combining paintings, photographs, and video, traces of time, individual and collective memories, the visible and the invisible, loom prodigally in the background.

The exhibition begins with an image (frottage) made by rubbing the ground with charcoal on paper and a photograph of the same ground. The various images that emerge from the process of rubbing the ground are superimposed on the scenery of the city and the people who lived there, and become a single magnificent painting. The images also include photographs of landscapes taken by people who are now deceased, as well as images of people from local newspapers in the past.

In addition, work that captures the texture of the paintings with a macro lens, work that maps images onto the paintings, and video work on the subject of painting resonate with each other, opening the door to a multilayered journey through the paintings. The video and photographs are supervised by filmmaker Shinjiro Maeda.
