Kazutaka Shioi's SHA-KO-SEKI (light reflecting stone) allows one to "hold on to the light of memory”. Pointing to stones of various sizes, all clad in soft colors, Shioi remarks, "These are actually photographs”. He says he walks around mountains, oceans, and temples in search of beautiful natural light, takes photographs of sunlight filtering through trees and surfaces of water, prints them onto Japanese paper, and attaches them to the stones to create his artworks. He turns momentary experiences and emotions into artworks that last forever. Now, as part of a project to connect the world through Sho-Ka-Seki, he uses photographs taken by other people as material for his works. In this exhibition, there will be works of unprecedented scales and new creations. Please come and enjoy the ever-evolving world of Kazutaka Shioi.

《Turn your memorable photos into "SHA-KO-SEKI"!》
We will be holding a workshop to create "SHA-KO-SEKI", led by the artist Kazutaka Shioi.
SHA-KO-SEKI is an object made with light. Kazutaka Shioi fixes onto stones the "light of memory" from photographs of landscapes taken by people. In this workshop, participants will bring their own photos full of memories to create for themselves an original SHA-KO-SEKI.
