The outline of everything / Japan / 2010 / 7' / 3:4
Yuki Hayashi creates animated works by cutting and combining some of the many photographs and videos he has taken and stored on his computer. In The outline of everything, he uses computer drawings to manipulate his photographic and video data. A line, which serves as a vestige of this data, begins to move while maintaining the relationship to the photographs and videos. The artist created this work while thinking about questions, such as whether this data, which has no specific materiality and possesses a certain kind of indefiniteness, can interact with defined images and what lies beyond the limits of that world.
