Liminal Space

At biscuit gallery (Shibuya Ward, Shoto), a contemporary art commercial gallery located on Shibuya Ward Shoto Culture Street, a two-person exhibition “Boundary Zone” by contemporary art artists Daichi Igarashi and Kentaro Okumura will be held.

The exhibition period runs from June 8 (Thursday) to June 25 (Sunday), 2023.

Let us call the contact surface between two domains the boundary zone.

The boundary zone is not itself, but is first defined by its contours, misread, indented, eroded, read into, and through movement, creates layers.

Diseases between dysthymia and schizophrenia are called borderline personality disorder. BPD is etymologically defined by what it is not to condone misreading, intruding, transgressing, scanning, resulting in a development to strata.

 

When matter is duplicated, by creating the écriture of “the same thing,” we eternally lose the identity of sameness.

When a feeling is duplicated, you describe a certain emotion with an established écriture such as “I’m angry”, “I’m relieved”, to maintain the conveyance of meaning, ending up with an eternal loss of its raw, vivid and timeless identité.

 

Strictly in non-integer dimensional metaphysical space, the intentionality from Mêmeté to Identité generates endless vertical movement. Penetration from two dimensions to three dimensions; seepage from three dimensions to four dimensions.

Under a violent, epileptic explosion, a patient shows a perpendicular intentionality to break through mêmeté to indentité. From the disordered to the ordered, and also from the pathological to the healthy.
