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 Zwischen Kosmos und Nähe, there was a sense that the cosmos does not exist only in some distant place, but may already be present here as a quiet presence.

The new exhibition continues this perception while at the same time expanding the view toward cosmic images and ideas that emerge through light, structures, overlapping forms, and imagination.

The cosmos is often imagined as something distant and immeasurable.
And yet, in small particles, in light, in superimposed forms, or within our imagination, we sometimes perceive a vastness and presence that recalls the cosmos.

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

Whirling forms emerging from delicate layers of traces.
Circular shapes shifting subtly within transparent layers and altering their trajectories.
Analog structures and moving images that evoke landscapes of a future memory.

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 — moving between distance and intimacy.

Distance and intimacy.
Structure and atmosphere.
Imagination and materiality.
