Half in Gray
by void+
Location: voidplus
Artist(s): Kazuna TAGUCHI
Date: 21 Nov - 18 Dec 2009

From Saturday 21 November to Friday 18 December void + will stage half in gray, an exhibition of work by Kazuna Taguchi. The art of Taguchi, whose practice transcends the boundary between painting and photography, emerges from a series of complex processes. Taguchi begins by gathering a selection of the innumerable images flooding media such as fashion magazines and the internet. Disassembling them, she uses the resulting fragments to make montages, which she then renders in paint. The delicate canvases thus created are then photographed, taking on their final, completed form via a different medium again.


Here we have certain "things" that definitely did exist – faces for example, scenes from nature, cosmic landscapes; but by taking images that existed through someone's filter, dismantling, and giving them new life, Taguchi turns them into something grey. As a result, initial images of these "things" begin to take on different meanings.


Kazuna Taguchi's works draw our attention to the unfettered multiplicity of the very act of looking that we undertake so casually.

 

"White lacks sufficient black. Black lacks sufficient white. These are half in gray."
