Miyuki Oka
6 Jul 2024 - 29 Jul 2024(Sat, Sun, Mon Only)
We are pleased to present the second solo exhibition of Miyuki Oka at “ku-kan(space)”.
Miyuki Oka has been visualizing the world and environment in which we live through data, creating works that are like an interface through which we touch the world.
In order to interpret the world that exists in chaos, she uses data as a reference point and the stories associated with it in her works.
In this exhibition, a space has been developed in which the artist’s various collections of videos, photographs, and sounds of daily life were placed in fragments through a variety of media. The fragments (data) of videos, photographs, and sounds of daily life are placed through rules set by the artist, such as being given a timeline.
These fragments (data) are only placed through rules, not with a purpose. Even so, we consciously or unconsciously connect these fragments together, seek stories and meanings on our own, and begin to interpret them individually.
The “dots” may overlap, but they cannot cross. The viewer, through the space, connects these inorganic “dots” according to the rules set by the artist, and they seem to cross each other as “lines”.
In the space where various “lines” intersect in this way, we will gradually become entangled and continue to be pleasantly astonished.
