L.A. Galerie Lothar Albrecht, Frankfurt presents
An installation by
Hiroshi Sunairi
“ Estoa yoHantastishe deB uddha”
It is a 9-feet-tall sculpture, made of wood and stained in Redwood. Its surface varnished smoothly Like a piano (Fujimori). It consists of 27 parts of shapes (fingers, head, arm, elephant, high heels, leather shoe, clouds and so on), varying sizes from 4x8 feet to 20x10inches, all jointed together without a single screw, like MEIJI PERIOD ARCHTECTURE HOUSE to construct the image of Buddha sitting with his hand resting on clouds. On the wall, both in Japanese and English, photo-collaged letters say, “muga nothing early-hiroshi “ In Japanese language for example, this letter, muga, since its usage of Hiragana alphabet leaves the meaning open (often, Kangi – Chinese characters are used to specify the meanings more precisely). They translates as nothing is, self-effacement, ecstacy, as well as attaining a spritual state of perfect selfishness. We thank Andrew Kreps Gallery, NY for the support. |
