Layer Drawing – the Tactual Sky

<layer drawing – the tactual sky>(2013) is the work of floating photos of static scenes taken at low speed in a row after placing them in transparent frames. This work starts from nullifying traditional concept about landscape and video. Objects remind people of celluloid film of movies and expand 2 dimensional images into 3 dimensional images. Layers hanging in the air look like an abstract painting which accumulates instant moments into a piecewise continuum.

Nobuhiro Nakanishi researches connecting the gap between art and life. To that end, he makes sculptures of mixed media and installations by using images similar to the method with which we precept nature and natural phenomena in reality. Series of Layer Drawing of Nakanish starts from taking photos of sunset, foggy forest or burning candle over a long time. The artist places the photos in transparent acryl frames, underscores the process of perception itself through installations layered in order of time, and reproduces natural phenomena that audience experience.
