Title:Practice for Mirages
將過去兩回展覽中展出的《幻想考》加以延伸。在之前的展覽中,以現在回推到過去的逆向視角,在「現在」與「未來」之間建立幻想,以這個世界可信性的路標,當作重新獲得體現的契機,展示著從小屋延伸的另一個世界 。當你發覺認知為存在的事物其實全是幻想,一直以來堅信為真的信念皆是幻想時,不禁想問世界可信性的路標究竟為何。
Expanding on his work “the Butterfly Dream,” exhibited twice previously, Sawa creates illusions of “now” and “the future,” going beyond perspectives of earlier shows that cast backwards from the present to the past. The work reveals an otherworldly realm that unfolds from a hut offering an opportunity to reclaim the physical as a marker of certainty in this world. It asks, “What can guide us to certainty in this world, where all the existence we perceive and all the concepts believed to be correct are illusions?”
Hiraki Sawa (Japan/UK)
出生於石川縣。
高中畢業後,他移居英國,目前繼續在倫敦和金澤創作作品。在倫敦大學和研究生院學習雕塑期間,他在朋友的幫助下使用電腦動畫軟體開始製作錄像作品。透過拼貼他在視訊時間軸上拍攝的影像,他創作了表達不存在的個人領域的裝置,例如他腦海中的風景或他記憶中的感覺。他透過巧妙地操縱和重建圖像和三維物體,在作品中創造了一個熟悉的世界,同時描繪了現實中不可能存在的場景,激發了觀者的想像。近年來,他致力於錄像與展覽空間交叉的作品,例如以繪畫或雕塑的方式捕捉圖像排列的空間構圖,以及三維與二維的並置。作品,並在世界各地展出。

Born in Ishikawa. Completed MFA in sculpture at Slade School of Fine Art in London in 2003. Currently lives in London and Kanazawa. Sawa expresses intangible domains such as imaginary landscape or certain senses exist in memories by video installations consist of moving image, three-dimensional and two-dimensional artworks. By manipulating moving images and three-dimensional structures, Sawa realises implausible and yet familiar scene in a given exhibition space which appeal to audience’s imagination. His recent artworks attempt to intersect moving images and exhibition space each other by constructing space through sculptural arrangements of moving images or laying three-dimensional and two dimensional artworks side by side.
