Alex Da Corte : fresh hell

Alex Da Corte is an artist who explores how images are made and perceived, and, by extension, the way memories are formed. What is it that we see through screens and monitors, and how do we understand it? Da Corte also delves into the relationship between desire, memory, and perception that has come to define the consumer culture of contemporary society, and confronts us with a question: what are the consequences of these images that saturate our lives? This exhibition, his first solo show in Japan, will focus on his video works, suffused with a mysterious kind of charm that exists between playful pop, virtual images adorned with familiar characters and icons, and the gloom and desolation of reality.
