The Atsushi Yamamoto Show

ShugoArts Online – film screening

2020.4.11 Sat - 5.10 Sun

 

We are pleased to announce a special online film screening of three video works by Atsushi Yamamoto, including one that has not been released to the public.

Atsushi Yamamoto chose the City of Hue in Vietnam for the destination of his year-long overseas training from September, 2018. While being away from the contemporary art scene and unable to communicate fluently in the local language, the artist managed to create nearly fifty new artworks. In one of those artworks titled I, the artist himself, I, is in a small boat slowly moving forward in Hue’s bright yet quiet dusk during its rice growing season. This is one of his many artworks that make the viewers think how valuable artists are to this ever-changing world. Please enjoy the screening.
