Before the debut work that established his international reputation, the self-portrait entitled “Portrait (Van Gogh)”, Yasumawa Morimura (b.1951) created a series of works.
The series entitled “Barco negro na mesa” that were not originally intended for exhibition, are introduced 20 years later. Within this work, he says, is something fundamental to which he has continued to return.
This film highlights the new sculptural work which uses dice that Morimura created as a motif for his exhibition of photos and installations at the 21st century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. In the process, the artist looks back over his early career and its implications.
Through this work Morimura invokes a serene period, when he was working more slowly and steadily, that became the foundational point for all his subsequent creations.
