MARUHASHI Mitsuo “Window Washing Somewhere”

January 18, 2021 (Monday) - June 30, 2021 (Wednesday) 17:00

Based on the theme of human vision and perception, Mitsuo Maruhashi has created works that arouse slight strangeness and confusion, such as the motif of a viewpoint from the inside of a painting. Maruhashi’s “Window Washing” series of video works – in which he appears to be washing the screen from the other side of it – exposes the materiality and boundary of the screen, which we usually pay so little attention to when watching videos.

Art Gallery Miyauchi would like to invite you to participate in “Washing Windows Somewhere,” a video project that you can appreciate using your smartphone or tablet.The artist Maruhashi will create a unique video for respective participants, which they will be able to watch wherever they happen to be. Should you wish to join us for the project, please refer to the application instructions below to submit an application. Take a look at our sample video on this page.
