ごあいさつ 無限の時間の中から一瞬を切り取った写真が無限の時間の中で何回も再生し
ていきます。再生する瞬間に照射される現実は同じものではないでしょう。
アメリカの原風景ともいえる中部プレーリに展開する一連の作品の示すもの
はアメリカの現実をこえ無限の時間のなかで輝く誠実さであると思えます。
わが国で初めて目にする Rob Fischer の作品を心いくまでお楽しみいただけ
れば幸いです。 2009 年 5 月 東京工業大学 世界文明センター 芸術学院ディレクター 肥田野 登 Foreword
Photographs were taken from a car in depicting the spark of a period within the US.
They have been revitalized on numerous occasions with the attachment of new stories
by the artist inhabiting different psychological states over time. The reality that we
can glimpse through these works changes with each new revision.
However, I always experience an unchanging message of sincerity from Rob’s works in
the Prairie regions of mid-western America—a place of identity for Americans.
Naturally, it is more than just a reality relating to the US, for it is rather a spark within
timeless worlds.
We are pleased to present Rob Fisher’s works for the first time in Japan.
