Meiro Koizumi
MUJIN-TO Production is pleased to present “Altar,” an exhibition by Meiro Koizumi.
In recent years, Meiro Koizumi has explored the mechanical nature of the human cognitive system through the themes of hypnosis and virtual reality, creating a new vision in which machines and humans merge.
While Koizumi has been focused his expression on video, this exhibition will feature new sculptures that connect the human body with everyday objects, furniture, and machine parts, as well as paintings and prints based on historical photographs documenting hypnosis in the 19th century.
Through the medium of sculpture, Koizumi is attempting to move to the next stage of experimentation, questioning the materiality of the body, which is the essence of the body, and wondering, “Has the human body been converted into data and patterns and objectified in exchange for progress and development throughout history?”
We hope this exhibition will give you a opportunity to think how we can recover the essence of our original raw experience and the rich space of humanity from our bodies, which have been reduced to objects, and feel the sense of foreboding for the future that Koizumi presents.
This is Koizumi’s first solo exhibition at MUJIN-TO Production in five years, revealing his new works that will lead to overseas projects for the next year.
