Yuichi Ikehata combines photography, sculpture, and digital editing to create hybrid works that meld together reality and his own fictionalized interpretation. The eerie humanoid forms are pierced with holes that reveal rudimentary structures below their plaster-like skin, making each appear to be in varying states of decay. To create these digital manipulations, Ikehata first photographs his own body in different poses. Using wire, he then three-dimensionally recreates its form in simple structures. Finally, the artist adds parts of his original image onto the sculpture through digital editing, reintroducing a fractured reality to the wire imitation. More

About The Artwork This work is dedicated to Lampedusa (Lopadùsa is the ancient Greek name of the island), the southernmost Italian island, very close to the Libyan coast. Lampedusa is the gateway to Europe for the masses of "last" who set off on the desperate search for peace and the possibility of a future. The people of Lampedusa, an outpost of the rich west, but also its far south, are capable, in spite of everything, of extending a hand downwards, into that deep abyss which conceals even our deepest fears and our inability to abandon the little certainties, in the name of a broader and higher vision ... that of a community of solidarity living beings, cooperating in the name of Good and Life. We must have the courage to imagine a new world, in which solidarity and cooperation become the pillars of our living together. By opening houses and sharing bread, the people of Lampedusa have made their island an outpost of that humanity now alien to the rich and technological West. And this courageous example of them can also show us the way to go to reinvent our world. A more human world, capable of placing the Human Being, and all forms of life, at the center of our universe. Lopadùsa is a tribute to all the women and men of Lampedusa. White painted aluminum.
