STATEMENT:

Yosuke Ito, a Tokyo-base artist, has been interested in the mechanism of seeing itself, which includes the so-called "gaze," "glance" to "memory" and "record." Ito has been trying to find a new way of representing the "mechanism of seeing." You may find that one truth would be on the two-faced world when you would see the thin boards standing with the images in his installation. Through the various types of fixing images on the boards, people could have seeing in a new light. Recently, he has planned projects in collaboration with other inter-media artists and has broadened his work, not only in seeing but also including other senses. Furthermore, he has been an organizer of international exchange projects based in Japan. Through organizing these works, he has collaborated with many artists from the various backgrounds and countries, which has provided him with new ideas. The relationship of his work between artist and organizer has had a synergistic effect on his art activities.
