BBOY and Hiphop culture is KEY of my Art works.
Masanari Tsuji,
from Mie Prefecture, Japan, I create art of body movement, space and time, and I am also a BBOY (break dancer).
I create and research from the context of dance culture and art, which I have been involved with since my teens, and create a variety of works by focusing on the ephemerality of dance and the traces that remain.
The energy of the dance becomes light and colour. We want you to see the dynamism and reality of the movement expressed in the work, the visible dance movement and the invisible body. The traces of movement that cannot be captured on film, the power and vitality felt in the traces of light that look like flames, are what she hopes to capture in her work.
Her most representative works are a series of photographs and a series of paintings in which she visualises the speed of dance, unique movements based on circular movements of the whole body and movements that disappear in an instant.
The expression of dancers and performance artists, including myself, is raw material, and even if the movements can be captured on film, it is not possible to keep the mass of flesh and blood in space as a work of art. I believe that in this ephemeral expression there is a power and suppleness of movement that only the human body can produce, and I create my work in search of the relationship between materials and the body.
