Vertical Emptiness in DP

Yasuaki ONISHI creates works of sculpture that visualize spaces normally
accepted as hollow or blank, with the straightforward themes of volume,
verticality and distance. Using simple materials that do not retain shapes easily, and working with actions, phenomena and time as compositional elements, he applies a delicate sensibility to trace the forms along the boundary between human agency and nature.
Trees hung upside-down from the ceiling, with rope tied from the branches down to the floor, and mud covered to the surface. An attempt at connecting the openings （emptiness） between an upside-down world and our own with vertical lines, and filling the space with the uncontrollable element of mud.
The material, turned into the work becomes a substance that elucidates things that cannot be seen, and the space transforms into a vessel of beauty storing up people’s boundless thoughts and imagination. Through Onishi’s sculptures, we catch glimpses of entrances to the reverse of the world in which we live.
