Analemma

Analemma captivates viewers with its mesmerizing interplay of countless particles of light. Woven white threads form intricate three-dimensional shapes, giving rise to countless particles of light that emerge, ascend, and fade away.

Despite its seemingly simple structure, Yasuhiro Chida's creation gives rise to a multitude of complex light phenomena. The random angles at which the threads are woven contribute to the perception that each light point possesses its own unique pace.

Yasuhiro Chida looks to remove any meaning from his artwork and encourages visitors to drop preconceived ideas about what the piece could mean.

Yasuhiro Chida’s inspiration comes from the process of creation. “It is almost as a coincidence, similar to the moment of a scientific discovery, that I discover something I wasn’t expecting, and then the art begins to take shape.” Chida considers light “one of the purest materials that make it possible to perceive a space.”

Japanese artist Yasuhiro Chida studied architecture in Tokyo and creates large installations that have primarily been shown in Europe and Asia since 2015. A recurring theme in his work is the effect of light on our physical perception of our environment. He considers light to be the basis of all art. He believes light doesn’t have a story but rather serves as the purest form of beauty and should be appreciated as such.
