Youki Hiraka's solo exhibition "Years Later" at Nagoya, Japan
Artist Youki Hiraka’s solo exhibition Years Later” will start from September 14 to October 14 at Standing Pine gallery at Nagoya, Japan.
This exhibition features his new series entitled ‘Years Later’. While he researched Japanese lost films, he noticed one fact. It is that, even though the rate of disappearance of Japanese prewar films is high, lots of bromide and still photography related to these films have been existing even now. Having observed and carefully looked over these related documents, Hirakawa recreated the stage setting which may have been used in the film in the past in his studio. However, the artist did not aim to perfectly reproduce this stage setting. There happened to be an inevitable ‘difference’ between the one from over 100 years ago in the process of recreating. His imagination was stimulated by especially this distortion.
