KURASHIGE in recent years has some opportunities to work in the field of promotional and commercial video making. Through this experience, he came to reconsider the possibilities in film work in fine art field which is unique and different from above referenced area. ‘Hollow Point’consists of two new installation works.‘Tank and Potted Flower' is one of them. The audience finds loads of parts laid out on the floor as they enter the gallery space. Those parts should be a part of something but the audience do not know what until they find the monitor attached to the wall. The film on the monitor gives them a clue and they recognize and construct “the thing” in their mind. The sculptural work which doesn’t exist there appears within individuals when the real image (parts) and virtual image (film) met by the exercise of imagination. As a word“hollow”means“empty”and“vacant”, the artist attempts to seek an intersection point where virtual and real image (neither of them make sense alone) meet in a delicate balance. Also he mentioned hollow point bullet which has a hollow shape in its tip. The bullet expands when entering the target and gives it a huge damage. He expects the audience to experience the first impact of the work but also take in the second and the third elements coming after and deepen their understanding. Similarly, the artist explores the point in‘The Cliff', soap opera-like-thriller film shot in 90x90cm diorama exhibited in the small exhibition space.
