Naoyuki TSUJI: ZEPHYR
Editor's Note

There may be many people who first discovered Naoyuki Tsuji at the exhibition entitled "A Perspective on Contemporary Art 6: Emotional Drawing" held in the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo and The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto in 2008, and indeed I was one of them. Tsuji announces a new work “ZEPHYR” (2009) in addition to four old works in this solo exhibition. Tsuji’s animation work is produced through the process of drawing a cut with charcoal, taking a picture of it, erasing a part, and then redrawing the erased part elsewhere on the same paper. Therefore, the mark of the charcoal stays even though the character moves. Tsuji’s animation, where one shape keeps changing, is like seeing a cloud as resembling something else in daily life. The metamorphosis of the changing shape as seen in ‘ZEPHYR’, and the old work ‘cloud’ both use his technique.
