The basis of Japan’s daily life — a vision raised by the tradition of hieroglyphic writing, combined with the values of Naturphilosophy and Zen School — was the starting point for reflection on the phenomenon of observation. Japan’s unique cosmology is a focused penetration into the essence of each subject, with minimal intervention by the interpretive mind. But at the same time, both Eastern philosophy and quantum mechanics admit that the presence of an observer determines the fate of an object, because it is the observer who chooses one of the possible states of an object by interpreting it in his own way.
The audio-visual structures, videos and sculptures of contemporary Japanese artists present at the exhibition demonstrate the interrelationship of all the things and phenomena that affect each other and give rise to multivariant events and interpretations that can be caught in the vortex in the eye.
