Masuda finds inspiration from films. He considers time in our lives as ephemeral layers of moments, likening it to ‘sequential images in film.’ He takes a picture of an open space and creates layers of the image using a projector, thereby superimposing the moments, repeating the process over and over again. Then, by applying silk-screen printing, the image is layered on a canvas. As a result, the image one sees at the moment is, at the next second, preserved as a layer of the past moments. In this show, Masuda will introduce his new works shot in the guest room and chapel at the ANA InterContinental Tokyo.
