KANA KAWANISHI GALLERY is pleased to announce Hideo Anze’s solo exhibition Forms of Invisible Existence from Saturday, February 20th. After two years since his last solo exhibition, this show will combine three different series of the artist including two new series titled RGB, Invisible Existence, and some new works from his Stripe (50Hz) series.
＊ ＊ ＊
RGB is a brand new body of work by the artist exemplifying photography of our time in his own unique point of view, inspired from the fact that William Henry Fox Talbot, the pioneer of photographic calotype, called his own-invented technique “photogenic drawing” instead of the word “photograph.”
Another series unveiled for its first time on this occasion would be Invisible Existence series, which becomes Anze’s very first sculpture work. Themed on keywords such as “time” and “memory” which the artist had been focusing on in his previous photographic works, the series will feature objects such as secondhand Hard Disk Drives found with their memories already deleted.
Also exhibited would be new works from Stripe (50Hz) series, specially selected by the artist for this exhibition amongst several hundred images the series currently consists of. Starting from April 2014, the series still is updated day to day, collecting images of vertical stripe patterns created by the flicker phenomenon which occurs when the iPhone camera captures fluorescent light made under electricity frequency of 50Hz.
＊ ＊ ＊
Anze has repeatedly suggested that the act of “taking photographs” no longer comfortably fits within the existing format of visual arts throughout his various photographic series. This exhibition, combining a diversity of three different series including two brand new, undoubtedly is a remarkable opportunity to experience the artist’s expression in full scale.
