Tomohito Ishii
In recent years, Tomohito Ishii has been creating double-image paintings of man and machine by painting oil on canvas based on photographs he took himself and then printing out an inverted image of the same photograph using a UV printer to make it blurred. The red-and-blue works, titled "Sub Anaglyph," are hazy images that jolt the viewer's vision.
Anaglyph is one of the methods to obtain stereoscopic images through optical illusions by using filters corresponding to binocular disparity. The principle of binocular stereopsis itself was announced by Charles Wheatstone in 1838, and the principle has a history that is connected to current VR technology.
While Ishii focuses on the structure of anaglyphs, he independently interprets anaglyphs as different from visual devices that spectacle images in an industrial structure. If modern industry tends to direct the eye toward show and consumption, the red and blue filters can be seen as a manifestation of this desire as a device.
In "Sub Anaglyph," sub is a prefix meaning lower, subordinate, etc. Ishii reinterprets the anaglyph structure, which uses the parallax between left and right to give excessive depth, as a relationship between upper and lower- the relationship between height and depth above and below ground- and refers to the post-modern vision, in which more visibility is granted, as the potential of the underground, which becomes less visible. Ishii's work is a study of the relationship between the surface and the depths of excess.
Ishii's work seeks a reciprocity between the visible and the invisible, from above ground to below ground and from below ground to above ground, and as a result, "Sub Anaglyph" was newly conceived as a binocularly invisible pair of works. This exhibition will feature two such works.
The opening talk will feature poet Naha Kanie and curator and critic Yukiko Shikata and will be moderated by artist Akira Takaishi, who co-curated "Subterranean Man and Mirrorless Mirror" with Ishii and will cover a wide range of topics.
