In downtown LA, he filmed passers-by as a car, which appeared to have crashed into a fire hydrant, sounded its horn while water spouted like a geyser. In fact, the scene, including the uniformed policeman, was a fabrication; only the public\uff95s nonchalance was authentic. Tsukasa Yokozawa\u2019s photographs of cityscapes-one in day light, the other at night-also present a humbling view of urban reality, while, made of salt Motoi Yamamoto\u2019s large labyrinth offers an overview of convolution and potentiality.<br>The two audio pieces in the show are very different from one another in origin. In Dale Berning\u2019s \u2018Phasmes\u2019, three pairs of speakers emit a dynamic soundscape of clonks, clatters and pings. Despite the random arrangement, they convey a distinct sense of purpose. \u2018I love Jah\u2019 , a CD by the defunct Reggae band The Meditations, introduces an interesting contextual hiccup to an otherwise thematically tight show. As in Weber\u2019s contrast of the real and the fake, you question the band\uff95s assertion of spiritual conviction style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sally O\u2019Reilly,\u3000TIME OUT LONDON<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mutated Zen: the Art of Surviving,\u3000The Nunnery, LONDON<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Mutated Zen: the Art of Surviving&#8221; Aug 15 &#8211; Sep 13, 2003The Nunnery Gallery (London)Curator: Yu Takehisa Artist; Nori Yokozawa, Klaus Weber, Dale Berning and Motoi YamamotoI created a salt installation at The Nunnery, a gallery in a renovated monastery.
