M5A5

M5A5 (2017) is a site-specific installation presenting impactful large-scale video work that plays with audience’s expectations regarding authenticity and deception. A total of four large projected images are carefully placed in the exhibition room, depicting a motif of tableware on shelves that slowly shift and collapse.

Although made with 3DCG, the objects are of such realism that, before collapsing, they can be mistaken for the real thing. Producing a fracture between what is apparent and what is evident, Watanabe questions materiality, spatiality, and temporality.
