Have you ever felt someone's gaze on you from the other side of the mirror?

The works in this exhibition are inhabitants who peer into our world through the boundary of the mirror, the "mirror point."

Reality and imagination, inside and outside, this side and the other side.

The "mirror point" is a place where these elements quietly blend together and the way the world appears is slightly reversed.

A mirror is essentially a device for reflecting oneself.

Yamaguchi Kyosho uses mirrors as a device that reverses the roles of "seeing" and "being seen."

In this exhibition, a pedestal incorporating a mirror creates a space where the physical works and their mirrored images correspond above and below. Viewers who are supposed to be looking at the works will suddenly find themselves exchanging glances with the beings in the mirror, and will realize that they too are being stared back at from somewhere.

What emerges there is an "intersection of gazes" where real and virtual, subject and object intersect.
The sense of being both the viewer and the viewed at the same time - this slight fluctuation quietly reverses the viewing experience.

In Yamaguchi's work, the "face" is not simply a motif.
It is a gateway to encounters with others and a window to confront ourselves, even though we cannot see our own faces directly.

That is why faces always appear "through others." The moment our eyes meet the inhabitant in the mirror, there is both an unknown other and, at the same time, a presence of ourselves that has yet to be put into words.

Please take your time to surrender yourself to the gaze of the mirror and enjoy a conversation with a new friend and a new part of yourself.
