Many of Ishida Takashi’s video works are created using a technique called "drawing animation." Through a process of drawing part of a line, taking a photograph of it, then doing the same thing again many times, he generates thousands of still images that he then edits together into a video that appears to evolve endlessly. It is, so to speak, a work of painting that never ends.
In this work, a canvas can be seen hung diagonally on a wall while the image depicted on it slowly evolves. Along with the ever-changing lines and colors on the canvas, the work also captures the changes in the light and shadows around it. In the exhibition, the canvas (or painting) itself was exhibited alongside the video.
