Tomimo+Akina
As an art project by up-and-coming artists, Tomimo+Akina's work "Human<3" will be exhibited for two months from Monday, March 26, 2024, at ULTRA, a café that exhibits world-renowned contemporary art, O Jun, Rafael Rosendahl, Tomoko Yoneda, Yukinori Yanagi, and others.
This work started from the artist's heart-wrenching experience of heartbreak. A CT scan was taken of the artist's heart, and the shape of the heart was combined with the heart symbol of an Emoji (pictogram). Unlike the heart and brain, the heart (mind) is not an organ. Many people who live today think that the mind is "something that makes humans act like humans”. And they think they own their own heart. The heart of the work seems to be hardened by the spell, but because of the heart that seems to be broken by the spell is maintained in an exquisite balance. Even spells are part of the human heart. By expressing and symbolizing personal heart pains, such as broken heart and aching events, by transforming them into body pains, we will challenge the expression of the phenomenon of the human heart that is close to the heart pain that can never be shared with anybody like copy-paste. But human beings can sympathize through common concepts of words and images. The heart symbol, which is loved as a symbol of love, is symbolized to include “love of all the people who know the common concept of heart symbol” rather than personal love. The heart organ is owned by the person, but is the heart (mind) owned by the person? This work visualizes the quest for the human heart <3.
