Hirofumi Isoya

Born in Tokyo in 1978. Isoya produces figurative installations that conceptually address the laws of objects and the relations between them, the trajectory of existence, and quotidian narratives. Hirofumi Isoya’s solo presentation in LISTE 19 is posited on the idea that between two places there often emerges a time lag. Conversely, a time lag reminds us of different places, and the relationships taking place between them. Inspired by this perception he tries to create such a lag in the relationships between the images, objects, and contexts involved in his works. Isoya’s practice invites visitors to participate by giving their thoughts, which relate closely to what the artist has been pursuing. How is reality structured for each individual, and how are we able to construe truths and reconstruct them in our mind’s eye? Through his installation the space is fostered and facilitated to share his concerns and inquiries with others.
