Yohei Watanabe, Boat Zhang, Maiko Jinushi
From August 22, HAGIWARA PROJECTS will present Turbulence — Summer’s End Screening, a ten-day program featuring one video work each by three artists. Each artist engages with society and the self from a distinct perspective, offering unique approaches to moving image.
Yohei Watanabe will present Black Box (2014). Working across photography, painting, sculpture, and other media, Watanabe has long explored our perception of the world through the relativity of viewpoint. In this work, he employs a similarly nuanced approach: a male voice-over unfolds in quiet dialogue with serene, contemplative imagery. The viewer is gradually drawn into the narrative, left with a lingering, enigmatic resonance that seems to drift between the boundaries of the everyday and the extraordinary.
Born in China in 1983, Boat Zhang lives and works in Tokyo and Shanghai. Beginning with the subtle emotions and dissonances of daily life, Zhang uses performance, sound, and text to question the social norms and value systems we unconsciously accept. In Disagree with the Hole, Zhang explores possible ways of responding to reality through a video work based on drawing. The repeated looping of images sharpens the work’s critical edge, confronting the viewer with a pointed challenge to the structures of society.
Maiko Jinushi, whose work has been featured increasingly in museum exhibitions in recent years, will screen Super Young Chili (2013). Consciously adopting the format of “film,” this black comedy tried humorously portrays the art world. The story follows Satoko, an aspiring artist, as she struggles to present her work to a renowned curator. Blending wit with satire, the work captures a sense of realism and complexity that remains strikingly relevant today.
