Tatsuo Miyajima - Profile

The name of Tatsuo Miyajima is synonymous with installations made of light emitting diodes (LED). The main focus of his work concerns time and space, through which there is an insteresting connection with On Kawara and Hiroshi Sugimoto. In Counter Me On, Tatsuo Miyajima is exhibiting for the first time works of neon and liquid crystal. The idea around which the exhibition revolves is neon digits of various sizes which count backwards at programmed speed from 9 to 1, omitting nought, then, beginning again at 9. This constantly repeated movement points to the close relationship between life and death which Miyajima has developed from Buddhism, where death is seen at the state where energy rests in order to prepare for another, new life. The past and the future are equally beyond our touch, because our actions can only intervene in the present. In order to forge a relationship between the observer and this constantly changing flux of life energy, the coloured neon digits are placed on mirrors. Through his reflections in the digit, the observer enters into the cycle of time. This created awareness of time and this reflection on existence and one´s own being flow into one in the appreciation of this work. (Buchmann Galerie, Köln)
