Shinya Arimoto Exhibition “Tokyo Debugger”
2021.1.14(collection) – 2.20(sat) @Zen Foto Gallery

There are many people who have been questioned about making works centered on the appearance of insects, as I have mainly produced portrait works for more than 20 years.。However, the previous work "Tokyo CirculationIn the statement, "Tokyo in my eyes、It's an ecosystem with a magnificent cycle. "。This is if the precise and calculated structure "honeycomb" made by a creature called a bee is a part of nature.、It was inspired by the idea that the city created by human beings is also a part of nature.。I once described the previous work and this work as "a relationship like the front and back of a coin".、For example, make sure that a piece of pure white paper has no back or front.、The human world and the insect world are also inextricably linked.、The little ones who have lived on this planet since ancient times are called "insect seniors" with respect.。Also"Tokyo DebuggerThe title has the simple meaning of "searching for bugs in Tokyo."、Is it really insects or human beings that are "debugged" in the history of the earth? With the metaphor。Maybe、The human world is insignificant compared to the history of senior insects.、Suddenly popping into their world、It may be a ephemeral existence that disappears quietly before long.。
