The body images that commonly appear on the screen were created by the author by combining body images generated by using multiple AI generation models and crossing them. In today’s world where it has become an obligation to commodify one’s own body and life itself (to gain approval) through SNS such as Instagram, thinking about the desires and ideal body image that exist there with AI. So, I am exploring the current state of human beings, who exist on the border between reality and virtuality. Instagram｜ @aaimi9719 Twitter(X)｜ @77777_ab

This process is inspired by heliography, the oldest photographic technique, and is based on the realization that “landscapes are found in light.” The colors that quietly permeate become light and reflect the landscape in your heart.

In the composition of a screen in Japanese paintings, emphasis is placed on the space between the figure and the blank space, but in his own work, he regards the space between the blank spaces as light and focuses on the ground of the screen, or the “finite space.” The aim was to provide a white ground as light between the infinity, which was originally not touched, and to capture the artist’s sensual feeling by including the subtleties of time, humidity, and seasons. Rather than leaving the spaces and distances between things as they are on canvas, by painting them in white, the seemingly infinite space is illuminated by light and transformed into a finite one. The earth, which is light, influences the figure, and the relationship between the two becomes richer, expressing the lingering feeling of space harmonizing with objects. Instagram｜ @aika_nagano
