The photographs and videos we see on Instagram and in virtual spaces on a daily basis seem to capture reality, but their substance exists somewhere between the "visible world" and "fiction. In the near future, these visual worlds will be so closely intertwined that they will be indistinguishable from reality, shaking our perception and existence itself. This work focuses on the act of "Utsusuri," which is deeply rooted in Japanese culture, and attempts to reconstruct the visual world through this movement. By layering the concrete image of the photographic medium onto a material such as canvas or Japanese paper, and using the technique of fish prints, the visual reality is blurred, blurred, and abstracted in the process. This process of transition is not a mere reproduction, but a dissolution of the photograph's memory and sense of reality, bringing to the surface its material presence. The image's metamorphosis from concrete to abstract to material exposes the fragility of the reality we "believe in" and blurs the boundary between fiction and reality. At a time when the visual world has become completely data-driven and AI and technology are transcending human perception, this exhibition presents an opportunity to question the "truth of what we see" and to reconsider the limits of our perception and the nature of our existence.
