Tamura Satoru uses "electricity", which is indispensable to our daily lives, to create works that make us want to call it a "device" on a large scale without practicality.
An incandescent lamp that turns on and off regularly while emitting sparks, a cloth that spins while making a rattling noise, a crocodile that spins around …
While wondering what the purpose of this was, we continue to appreciate the work innocently when we notice it, "From the meaning, setting, and purpose that the material and form will have. I want to be free, "he says. Maybe he's addicted to it.
At the venue this time, the "Machine Series" will be exhibited, in which chains that form numbers, letters, and symbols rotate endlessly. It is a masterpiece that more than 20 works such as the ART machine in the shape of the alphabet "ART", the "!" (Exclamation mark) type machine, and the TOKYO machine, which will be unveiled for the first time this time, move at the same time.
Please take this opportunity to enjoy the space created by Tamura Satoru, who creates works with cynical humor as useless and useless things that produce nothing useful electricity that is indispensable to society.
