Hiroshi Kariya was born in Japan in 1948. He moved to the United States in 1977 and has since pioneered the form of autoarchaeological art, turning his ongoing investigation of the archetypes of the concept of existence into artworks. His works present attachments to the concept of existence and meaning, as well as systemic landscapes that continue to explain them. The surface is cast aside as a temporary vestige of appearance.
The work in progress; "TWIN CODE = Parallel Code,” is a work directly pasted onto the photo record image of "OSDLM: Mother," was exhibited at the 2019 NY Armory Show. The act of reference remains on the surface, revealing footprints before and after. The traces simulate an archaeological site excavation activity, concealing the illusion of intentional comparison. Is the world we see real or a holographic virtual reality?
Kariya, who is a twin, duplicates the words of Genesis as Souseiki. He hints at the dynamic infinity of the immensity and subtlety of the false one and the unseen immortality. All physical properties on the surface are a repetition of self-created illusions where our beliefs are misplaced, and we continue to experience self-questioning.
The image is a mirror, symmetrical, the left side is the right side, the front side is the reverse side, and the whole image invites you to imagine it. Mental images are non-spatiotemporal, non-physical, and ever-changing frequencies. The origin is here, the beginning becomes origin, and they are dancing and playing freely and no-ends.
Kariya uses news media articles and images as representative of virtual information to dominate, as collectively calls his works "News Paintings" or "News Sculptures." They are evidence of the virtual evidence of the information society, examples of time code references. At the same time, they are used as an archaeological examination of the production, presenting the illusion of incorporeality. (→Return to image)

刈谷博は1948年日本に生まれた。1977年渡米、以来*自己考古学芸術の形式を開拓、存在概念の元型を考察しつづける作家の現在を作品化する。作品は存在概念と意味に付着する概念、それらを説明し続ける系風景を呈示する。表面は一時的な見せかけの痕跡として放り投げられている趣に。
上記「TWIN CODE=双生記」は、2019年NYアーモリーショウ展示作品「母」写真記録画像上に「時の顔」顔経を上乗せする作品である。制作過程の痕跡を露呈させ参照行為が表面に残存している。痕跡は考古学サイト掘削活動に擬似し意図的比較のイリュージョンが刻秘されている。吾々が見る世界の非現実性、又はホログラフィック現実性を問う仕掛けである。
双生児である作家は創世記と双生記の言霊をダブらせる。見せかけの片方に見えない不滅の膨大・微妙のダイナミックな無限性を隠蔽する。表面一切の物性は信念が見違える自作自得の幻想の繰り返しであり、吾々は自問自答を経験し惑わされつづけている風景である。
画像は鏡、左右対称、左側が右の画像を、表面が裏側の存在を、画像全体は心象へ誘う。心象は非時空間、非物質性、変化存在しつづける。元も末、始りは終り、自由自在勝手奔放に躍り飛び交い浮遊する景である。
刈谷は、ニュース媒体の記事とイメージを仮想情報の典型として使用し作品を「報道絵画」または「報道彫刻」と総称する。それらは情報社会の仮想現在の証拠、時間コード参照の範例である。同時に制作上の考古学的検証に用いられ非実体性のイリュージョンを呈示する。 (→画像に戻る)
