Yosuke Amemiya
‘‘‘Apple’’’
Super Star Market, Marie Heinekenplein 26- 27 Amsterdam, Second location to be confirmed
13 April – 12 May 2012

 

 

With  Apple, Yosuke Amemiya tests the boundaries of reality and fiction. Life-like sculptures, left in every day surroundings, like a grocery store or a university, subtly alter the viewer’s experience of place and time. Much more than a practical joke, Apple creates an imaginary space where you least expect it.

More about YOSUKE AMEMIYA

Yosuke Amemiya’s art practice mainly focuses on creating disorientation for the viewer, to suggest the feeling of touching another world. “I started my artistic career with sculpture, painting on the surface of the art object. My art practice has developed into video installation that stretches out into the entire given space. In addition, I have recently been working on video installations in which I include my own physical existence.”
