Moeko Kageyama

In the face of the original concrete urban landscape, Moeko Kageyama used the fictional world as a method to confuse the binary opposition between the virtual and the real, "effectively" set her imagination based on the city of Tokyo, and drew a highly detailed micro-narrative landscape, trying to blend it into a grotesque image with unique tension.

Kageyama's works are full of fragmentary plots and some dialectics based on reality. The theater-like scenery in the picture suspends the "should" and "reasonable" in reality, and creates a heterogeneous norm.

That is to say, Kageyama's picture is like a container, which links up through its privatized "language" (including the use of multiple combinations of images and words in the picture, juxtaposing concrete landscapes and abstract symbols, etc.), leading to a kind of seemingly absent splicing and interspersing behavior, and integrating some contents that will not exist in a space at the same time. Thus, she twists the real life to her idealized fable world and conveys a sense of urgency and contradictory desire to transcend reality.

This kind of depiction of Kageyama creates a kind of "unsaturated" sad aesthetic feeling as a whole. It seems to be a "weathered" general sense of color, in order to fix (or even retain) a landscape that will appear and not appear. This not only represents Yingshan's reflection and response to the current situation of urban landscape, but also reflects her personal ideological status. Finally, a sense of "reality" is achieved comprehensively.
