A colossal pregnant creature has been built for this event, her name is Inochi ε½, the Cycle of Life.

Β« In this exhibition, I want to find a point where the abstract and the concrete naturally blend together. guibog's works deal with the concrete. I think about abstraction. I have been thinking about this ever since his proposed the idea of a two-person exhibition. We will combine our works to create a single work together.
Β« Will my method which aspires to abstraction and his method based on concrete works actually blend together?
Β« And so, my personal concept for this exhibition was to find a point where abstract and concrete, my work and guibog's work, naturally blend together. I was given an idea by Ake to make this idea of mine easier to understand. That idea helped me. There is an electronic component called a capacitor. This component has the role of storing electricity.
Β« If abstraction is an invisible force and the concrete is a visible physical force, electricity is an invisible force, an abstraction. The material of the component is a visible force, the concrete.
Β« In terms of the structure of a capacitor, it can be said that the material as a concrete object embraces and envelops the electricity as an abstraction. When humans embrace, there is a physical, material bond, and an invisible force, love. Various things from each of them mix together. And something is born.
Β« Inside a capacitor, electricity and material do not mix. But that is just my assumption; they may actually mix and something may be born.
Β« But the point of blending itself is already there, as in the human word and action of embracing.
Β« For this exhibition, the idea is to just create things. The points where they mix will become clear later. (Kayu Nakada)
Β« In a capacitor, as Kayu rightly says, the concrete part made of chemical material has the capacity to carry an amount of potential energy, a given charge of electricity. As electricity has no shape of its own and cannot be touched (apart from the tingling feeling we often get when directly touching electronic components and circuit boards), it can be said to be abstract. The capacitor, with its material shell bearing a spark of energy, is an analogy for the vessel of life; the "condensateur" (French) where a potential of energy condenses into a soul.
Β« Since the beginning, following in the footsteps of so many before me, I've been climbing up onto the path from concrete to abstract, from inanimate discarded machines and materials abandoned by their human owners, up to animated machines or robots, with sparks of life, personalities, souls, destinies, and eventually deaths. So it was that I was climbing Mount Negentropy, feet stuck in the mud of the concrete and heading towards the abstraction of life. Then I met Kayu Nakada. I don't know how he managed to fly straight to the top, but I think in this exhibition we set a landmark between abstract and concrete, a (galvanic) connection between faceless deities and "faceful" robots, between circuits, machines, montages and drawings. It may be seen in its most effective form in the "Cycle of Life", this pregnant creature secured on the ceiling of εζ, a 鯀顬 made of chaos, cables and plates, full of emptiness and light, whose pet name is Inochi (ε½) Β» /guibog
