【from Tokyo】ART: Art and Imagination- "MOT Annual 2020 Invisible Powers"

I visited MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART TOKYO. At "MOT Annual 2020 Invisible Powers" by a young artist, I came across my favorite art work.

This exhibition introduces the works of five young artists. Among the arts on the theme of biotechnology and technology, I was fascinated by the analog works.

The best work for me was this work by Junya Kataoka + Rie Iwatake, a unit of male and female.

Two paperback books are rotating on a plane with a clockwork mechanism. After looking at it for a while, the two books gradually approach each other, and eventually their trajectories overlap for a moment. The pages of the two books touch each other, and the book flips over. However, soon the two books separate and go on their respective orbits.

What a profound work! Moreover, the paperback book is Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go".

The orbits of two objects overlap for a moment. Physically that's it. However, people have various feelings for the phenomenon.
