contemporary Japanese art

Anna Hayat & Slava Pirsky
“Existence”

April 13 - 28, 2024
11:00 -18:00, Mon.- closed

​

 "Gallery G-77 presents an exhibition by Israeli photographers Anna Hayat and Slava Pirsky titled 'Existence,' as part of the program KG+ (festival Kyotographie 2024).

 Through large-format black-and-white Polaroid photographs, both taken within and outside the studio, they explore themes of trauma, self-sacrifice, and the fragility of life within Israeli society, deeply affected by ongoing war and terror. Departing from strict documentary representation, their works construct metaphorical imagery resonating with current events. The exhibition, united by a cohesive style and theme, includes the main series "My Personal Jesus," blending Renaissance aesthetics with modern photography. Responding to the October 7th terrorist attack, the artists present new works reflecting a direct approach, evoking empathy and contemplation. Experimenting with materials and techniques, they create photographs that appear as historical artifacts, conveying the passage of time and adding layers of intrigue to the viewer's experience.

YUIKO RÁYKA "SOUL GEMS META"

NOV 17 Thu - 21 Mon, 2022

One of RÁYKA's series of works is called "Soul Gems" (2015-). This series focuses on the relationship between us as soul beings and the universe. Each of our souls is the universe itself, resonating with each other, existing in harmony within this great universe. 

In the past, RÁYKA has developed this series of works expressed in the physical form (two-dimensional works and installations), but in this exhibition, "SOUL GEMS META," she will newly express this worldview using the Metaverse, VR, and NFTs.

RÁYKA finds similarities in the relationship between the "soul and us humans" and the "core of the work and the expression media," and attempts to present them from the perspective of "evolution" through this work.
