Shinro Otake

 

 

Among these, contradictions that can be convinced as a sensation “have great potential,” says the artist. For example, facing an “overwhelmingly strong shape” of an object that ignores the concept of a work that a human being created, he somewhat comes to have "a feeling of positive despair.” "Such a contradiction that can be convinced” will make him find an unprecedented way of interacting with the world, he writes. From the same essay collection as yesterday, “Things That Already Exist.”
