Namine Doi
This program marks its 10th iteration and introduces two artists selected through a public call--Namine Doi and painter Nana Shibuya.
Doi has always perceived that "everything seems alive." This perception transcends the organic and finite boundaries of life and matter, blurring the lines of "existence" for her. Drawing from her own experiences, she creates sound installation works that confront preconceived notions and attempt to expand reality.
This exhibition features works inspired by Zeami's Noh play "Toru." In the play, Toru Minamoto creates a garden at his Kyoto residence that mimics the scenery of Shiogama Bay, which he admired. Even as a ghost, he remains obsessed with this landscape. Doi parallels her past yearning for urban and foreign places with Toru, producing works as a ghost captivated by such fantasies in Shiogama. She envisions Shiogama, situated between the countryside and the city and between the past, present, and future, as a midpoint on the Senseki Line connecting Ishinomaki, Shiogama, and Sendai.
The exhibition features a layered presentation of various elements such as melodies, narratives, environmental sounds, and rhythms, based on sounds she collected from her memories. This work, incorporating the audience's post-experience movements, evokes scenes that connect with the appreciation of Noh, fostering the audience's imagination.
This exhibition aims to make fantasy a "key to coexisting with happiness in reality."
