Kota Iguchi, who founded the creative association CEKAI and serves as its co-representative, is a motion designer and creative director whose practice spans from motion graphics to live-action video, grounded in a dynamic approach to design.
This exhibition focuses on the experimental aspect within his practice of adding time and space to graphics, which are conventionally rendered on a flat surface.
We are pleased to welcome guest collaborators Rei Ishi, Ryu Mieno, Taku Sasaki and Aki Kanai, who have created three new works presented on the first floor of the gallery venue. Each guest designer accepted a themed challenge to create new work based on basic elements of graphic design—combining geometrical shapes with regularity, lettering with embodiment, and paper with continuity—focusing on tracing the ideas that connect 2D graphics to 3D, and then to motion graphics. Together with the representative works by Kota Iguchi and CEKAI that fill the basement floor of the venue, the exhibition showcases the appeal and future potential of experiential and immersive visual communication.
