Mid Tide#3
Mid Tide#3
Exhibition View
Since 2020, Furusawa has worked on his ongoing creation Waves Etude, a series of seascape-themed video works, using a method that manipulates the temporal axis of video footage.
Featuring a new work from the Mid Tide series, which evolved from Furusawa’s Waves Etude exploration, and two new pieces from a new series of works entitled Slack Tide, Mid Tide is a solo exhibition consisting of three video works.
Mid Tide is a video installation that draws spectators into unfolding filmed environments and temporal flow. Just as the ebb and flow of the tide imperceptibly erodes landscape, this work unobtrusively impacts the spectator’s level of perception.
Ryu Furusawa
Graduated from the Oil Painting Course at Tokyo University of the Arts’ Department of Painting, and in 2012 completed an M.A in the Department of New Media at the same university’s Graduate School of Film and New Media. Through digital manipulation and physical intervention in the image fixation process itself, which is designed to reconstruct temporal and spatial elements in image media, Furusawa utilizes methods that induce fluctuations in the viewer’s visual perception. With this approach, he attempts to capture the presentness of visual media in ephemeral landscapes. He is also frequently involved in projects as a member of the artist collective YOF.
