KAGEMI
KAGEMI – Beyond the Metaphors of Mirrors
The Kage of Kagemi is shadow
The light of contrast, the image in the mirror of water’s surface
The mi is seeing and being seen
Some say Kagemi is the ancient origin of “mirror” (kagemi)
In light, the surface that reflects and is reflected, looked into and looking back
Surface beginning in the horizontal water plane and transforming to the perpendicular face
From an ambiguous and transient state to one clearly outlined
The right hand asks, the left hand answers
Once an imaginary sur-face is defined
– Ushio Amagatsu
Ⅰ Wind in the water depths
Ⅱ MANEBI – two mirrors
Ⅲ Echoings of gaze and return gaze
Ⅳ In the light by the waterside
Ⅴ Infinite dialogue
Ⅵ Empty / Full
Ⅶ CHIRAL / ACHIRAL, Agitation and Sedimentation
Each movement is a work of art.
