Masterclass Atsushi Wada
”Atsushi Wada Works 2005-2019”
The main subjects of my work have been “Ma (interval)” and “comfortable movements”. By showing the works I made with the strong consciousness of these topics in chronological order from Day of Nose to the recent films, I think you can feel comfortable “Ma” and Movements well, or too much. I also think you can see things that have changed in me over time.(Atsushi Wada)
