Reason for Award
This is not 3DCG. The wild and powerful dance of colors and forms was made possible by capturing the paints blasted off in the air with super high-speed photography. It had been a number of years before technology caught up with this unique concept. After 11 years of film work, the artist’s imagination came to be realized by digital editing. This work visualizes a space beyond the everyday reality that we had never seen and positively suggests the possibilities of profound expression developed by digital technology.
