Author: Matsubara, KenKen Matsubara makes multimedia works that incorporate video, photographs and found objects to investigate the memories that reside deep within our consciousne ss. His flickering video images projected onto surfaces of objects are dreamlike and ephemeral. Memories are often embodied in images, and can contain knowledge from the far-reaching past, extending beyond individual experience and recollection. This monograph offers an overview of his work from the last decade.Though his works are often site-specific, Matsubara often creates variations on a core idea where he uses found photographs from various locations and makes new photographs and videos in those same locations. By incorporating the found antique photographs with his own new images, he reveals a dialogue between past and present, poetically capturing moments in the passage of time. ISBN 9781735762951.
