This story is a fantasy that depicts the destruction of the human race to the collapse of the earth, but it is also a wake-up call to the real world. Through this story I represent a “vision” and “hope” for our new future. In the year 2020, humanity is in turmoil, body and soul are invaded, and the world has been changed. Feeling a sense of crisis, I conceived of the story “Universe in the earth” and linked “Katamari sculpture,” that is the subject of my work. The first chapter was exhibited in 2021 and we are now in the fifth chapter. Chapter Ⅰ “Universe in the earth”, Chapter Ⅱ “New continent”, Chapter Ⅲ “Kaijin’s Garden”,Chapter Ⅳ “New-Kaijin & Kaiju”, Chapter Ⅴ “Good-by Earth” We humans, the earth, and the universe are all physically or spiritually influencing each other, circulating, and evolving so slowly without us noticing.
■ About NAKAYASHIKI Tomonari Born in Osaka Prefecture in 1977 and currently residing in Kyoto City, I graduated from the Kyoto Seika University School of Fine Arts, majoring in Western Painting, in 2000. Since then, I have participated in numerous exhibitions and art fairs both domestically and internationally. Alongside my artistic activities, I also manage an artist-run alternative space and organize group shows.
In recent years, I have been using washi tape as a medium, just like paint, resulting in a series of paintings that feature layers and textures reminiscent of collage. Through this technique, where the relationship between figure and ground constantly shifts, I explore the uncertainties of visual perception and seek to transcend the traditional dichotomy of painting and viewer. I would be grateful for the opportunity for you to take a look at my work.
■ Inner Flesh：NAKAYASHIKI Tomonari One day, while out for a walk, a thought casually crossed my mind: “The characters for ‘inner’ (內) and ‘flesh’ (肉) are strikingly similar.” This sparked my curiosity to delve deeper into the connection between these two words.
The characters for “inner” and “flesh” are not only visually alike but seem to share a conceptual similarity as well: both point inward. However, this inward orientation cannot exist in isolation; the presence of an external counterpart is a necessary precondition. The inner and the outer are interdependent, coexisting through their opposition.
This perspective draws from the philosophical concept of “place” (場所) introduced by Nishida Kitaro. “Place” serves as the foundation for all existence to manifest, transcending dichotomies such as subject and object, inner and outer, body and spirit. In this context, “place” dissolves opposition, functioning as the root where all becomes one. Thus, within this framework, the inner and outer are unified.
The act of gazing at a painting operates similarly, encompassing both inner and outer elements. At first glance, this gaze seems directed outward, toward the painting as an object—something external. Yet, in truth, it transcends the dichotomy of subject and object. Painting creates the “place” where this pure gaze becomes possible, and I aspire for my works to embody such a space where the flow of gazes converges and intertwines.
