Gestalt
Takashi Ishida JP, 1999, 7', 16 mmAmber sunlight shines into the corner of the room from the window. The shadows projected on the wall erode each other away, and as this increases, the three-dimensional shape of the room flickers between the actual walls and an illusory vision produced by the flatness of a drawing. It is a miraculous room whose shape changes with the spectator’s perceptual actions. Takashi Ishida’s Gestalt, an elaborate animated film made by continuous repainting of the wall of a room, is a tour de force of shifting representational space that plays with conventions of perspective and effects of spatial perception.
