このたび、hakari contemporary では、敷根功士朗による個展「宙ぶら輪廻」を開催いたします。

敷根は、映像、彫刻、パフォーマンスなど複数のメディアを横断しながら、出来事や身体の経験を再構成し、知覚のあり方を問い直す表現を展開してきました。断片化された出来事や、結果だけが切り取られた状況、起こりそうで起こらない時間が交錯する空間は、私たちが無意識に前提としている認識や価値観を静かに揺さぶります。

本展「宙ぶら輪廻」は、インディペンデント・キュレーターの戸塚愛美を迎え、現代アートを中心に扱うKanda & Oliveira（千葉県船橋市）で開催された同名展を基点に、新たにパフォーマンスなどの要素を加え、hakari contemporary の空間にあわせて再構成するものです。

本展では、敷根の実践を通して、時間や身体、知覚をめぐる問いを、空間と時間のあいだに生じる状態として提示します。

この機会にぜひご高覧ください。

Hakari Contemporary is pleased to present “Suspended Samsara,” a solo exhibition by Koshiro Shikine.

Working across multiple media, including video, sculpture, and performance, Shikine has developed a practice that reconstructs events and bodily experiences in order to reconsider the nature of perception. In these works, where fragmented events, situations reduced to their outcomes, and moments that seem about to happen yet never quite occur intersect, quietly unsettle the assumptions and values that unconsciously shape the way we perceive the world.

This exhibition, “Suspended Samsara,” is based on the exhibition of the same title held at Kanda & Oliveira in Funabashi, Chiba, a gallery focusing on contemporary art, with independent curator Manami Totsuka.

Reconfigured for the space of Hakari Contemporary, the exhibition introduces new elements, including performance.

Through Shikine’ s practice, this exhibition presents questions surrounding time, the body, and perception as states that emerge between space and time.

We warmly invite you to experience the exhibition.

世界はいま、宙ぶらりんね。

日常の中に潜む感情や身体の感覚は、自然なものとして経験される一方で、社会的・構造的な形式によって深く編成されている。本展「宙ぶら輪廻」では、その編成の力学を、作品の時間、物質、身体の経験を通して現前化させる試みである。

下記の３つの視点をもとに、私たちが世界を知覚し、時間を経験し、社会の形式のなかで感覚や身体を位置づけていく、その不安定な条件を再考・提示していく。

一つ、「知覚の変容とは何か。」現代のソーシャルメディア等に代表される知覚の現在地。速度や断片化と反復による知覚の空洞化。

二つ、「われわれが経験している時間とは何か。」時間軸における断絶と永続性。付随する身体の感覚。

三つ、「いかに社会的な回路を逸脱してみるか。」連なる戦争の時代における先行き不透明で混沌とした現代における逆説的な「明晰さ」。

コーヒーが、こぼれる——その現象のうち、「結果」だけが抜き出され、背後にある文脈は剥奪される。映像では「起こりそうで起こらない」時間が引き延ばされ、彫刻では「すでに起きてしまった」結果だけが固定される。宙ぶらりんでいることで浮かび上がる「あるべきもの」としての価値観が留保され、思考の代替可能性を明示する秀逸な作品群。「かくあるべし」という理想論をほどきながら、異なる思考の可能性を拓き、再び思考していくための各々のレッスンとなるだろう。

世界はいま、宙ぶらりんね。

The World, in Suspense

The emotions and bodily sensations latent within everyday life are experienced as something natural, and yet they are deeply shaped by social and structural forms. This exhibition, Suspended Samsara, is an attempt to render perceptible the dynamics of that organization through the temporal, material, and bodily experiences articulated by the works on view.

Drawing on the following three perspectives, the exhibition reconsiders and presents the unstable conditions through which we perceive the world, experience time, and situate sensation and the body within social forms.

First, what constitutes the transformation of perception?
This inquiry addresses the present coordinates of perception as epitomized by contemporary social media: the hollowing out of perception induced by speed, fragmentation, and repetition.

Second, what is the nature of the time we experience?
This concerns discontinuity and persistence along the axis of time, and the bodily sensations that accompany them.

Third, how might one deviate from social circuits?
This addresses a paradoxical “clarity” that emerges within a contemporary moment of uncertainty and chaos, in an age marked by successive wars.

Coffee spills—and from this phenomenon, only the “result” is extracted, while the context behind it is stripped away. In video, the time that “seems about to happen, yet does not” is stretched out; in sculpture, only the result of “what has already happened” is fixed in place.

These exceptional works hold in abeyance the values of what “ought to be,” brought into relief through a state of suspension, and clearly reveal the possibility of alternative modes of thought. By unraveling the idealism of “how things should be,” they open the possibility of different ways of thinking, becoming, each in its own way, a lesson for thinking once again.

The world, suspended—even now.

東京藝術大学彫刻専攻を卒業後、同大学大学院グローバルアートプラクティス専攻修了。映像、彫刻、パフォーマンスを横断し、日常の断片や身体的経験を再構成することで、知覚の変容を誘発する空間を生成している。その実践は、現代の環境における身体感覚と社会的回路のあいだに生じる「宙吊り」の状態や、記録と記憶、現実と再現のあいだのズレに加え、身体をめぐる視線や制度との関係にも焦点を当てている。

Shikine is a Tokyo-based artist.

After graduating with a degree in Sculpture from Tokyo University of the Arts, he completed his master’s degree in the Global Art Practice program at the same university. Working across video, sculpture, and performance, he reconstructs fragments of everyday life and physical experiences to generate spaces that induce perceptual transformation. His practice focuses on the state of “suspension” that occurs between physical sensation and social circuits in contemporary environments, the gaps between recording and memory, and reality and reproduction, as well as the relationship between the gaze and institutional systems surrounding the body.

Recent exhibitions include “Sushi, Shisu” (2025, Ryugasaki City). His honors include the Tomoko Yabumae Jury Award at the CAF Award 2019.
