「見立てるということ」 不完全なものから想像を働かせ、自らの感性に基づいた光景を目の中に映す行為は古来から人々が続けてきた営みの一つだと考えています。生成AIによる複製が身近になった今、自らの目で見て、頭で考え、手で作る者の存在意義が極めて危うい状態に揺らいできていると感じています。見立てるというシンプルかつ古典的な表現活動は人としていかに生きるかの問いに真摯に向き合う糧となり得るのでしょうか。 アートとともに生きる1人の人間として、作品を通して手で作る意義の普遍性を探求しています。 Yumi Nagata (nagata yumi 1986-) works as an artist under the following concept ​ The concept of "to see". The perspective that I value as a writer is ``mitate'', and I believe that the act of using your imagination from an imperfect object and projecting a scene with your own sensibilities has been practiced by people since ancient times. Now that reproduction using generative AI has become commonplace, I feel that the raison d'être of people who can see with their own eyes, think with their heads, and create with their hands is in great jeopardy. Can the simple and classic expressive activity of ``mitate'' become a source of inspiration to seriously face the question of how to live as a person? As someone who lives with art, I explore the universal meaning of making things with my hands through my work.
