Work Details

I keep falling.

Even while I sleep, my persona is copied outside of me, and keeps falling like rain.

Existence is assigned to data, becomes an image, and forms reality. Within a world where that image keeps swelling, I, drawn to the horizontal, am dashed against a wall like the earth, and turn to ash. Yet the ash-turned image mixes with new images and circulates once more.

The 157 images, as if loving a single place with all their heart, fall deep into feeling and return there again and again.

I am not human.
I fall like rain.

Yudai Nakaya

Conceptual Artist

Born in Kanagawa, based in Tokyo.

Yudai Nakaya's practice begins with a sense of dissonance felt in the face of a single event. He re-describes that event from multiple perspectives—human, society, animal, plant, time, machine—and turns the gaps that emerge between these descriptions into works.

Each project is numbered as a "Case": one Case is a body of multiple descriptions surrounding one event. A Case is never complete; descriptions from new perspectives are added over time. As long as there are events in the world, the Cases will continue to grow.
