Gallery Tour: SECOND LAW
About this Event
The Second Law of Thermodynamics holds that the universe is always tending towards disorder. Ultimately all structures disintegrate and no system can withstand the flow of time. This is the fundamental direction of nature. How then is it possible that life, as we know it, can give rise to things that are beautiful, sublime and have profound meaning for us?
How far does the glinting light of life reach in a chaotic cosmos?
Reijiro Wada responds to this question through the sculptural work he presents here, embodying ephemeral effects in concrete form. When the materials he uses are abandoned to heat, time and chance, the effects are unpredictable. He intervenes to fix moments in processes of such transformation, making visible the tension between entropy and emergence that inspires his artistic practice.
Reijiro Wada was born in Hiroshima, Japan, in 1977 and is based in Berlin, Germany. Completed Doctor of Fine Arts (DFA) course at the Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts. Reijiro Wada is a sculptor working with metaphysical concepts and themes such as the universe, life, and time, taking a unique approach utilising physical phenomena and dynamics. Wada intervenes directly in the environment using nature. His sculptures, characterized by their multi-dimensional disposition, have an effect on the viewer’s perspective and the space they inhabit.
