Between Cosmos and Nearness - 宇宙とこことのあいだ
Motoi Yamamoto, Yuki Yamamoto, Josephin Böttger
Opening: Saturday, June 27, 2026, from 6 pm

Already in the first exhibition Between Cosmos and Nearness, there was a feeling in the air that the cosmos might not exist only in some distant place, but could perhaps also be present here as a quiet presence.

The cosmos often appears to us as something distant and immeasurable.
And yet, in light, forms, or fragmentary images, we sometimes encounter a sense of vastness that reminds us of the cosmos.

The exhibition brings together three artists whose works evoke such perceptions in different ways.

Circles that approach one another, drift apart, and occasionally intersect.
Whirls emerging from delicate layers of overlapping traces.
Analog structures and moving images that evoke landscapes of future memories.

The works are not intended as direct representations of the universe.
Rather, they open up a space in which, through the interplay of perception and imagination, a cosmic sensibility emerges — one that moves between distance and nearness.
