  • Youki Hirakawa
  • 平川祐樹

Youki Hirakawa is a video artist presenting the time dwells in places and matter through the method inspired by media archaeology. In the last few years, he has been creating the works particularly through the alchemical process such as combustion, distillation and purification. He produces art pieces by using ashes of vintage film as pigment for his paintings and also by extracting and casting silver from these films. His minimalistic works hold both tranquillity and vanity.
