About and Around

Kiyoshi Kohatsu's work investigates the nuances of pixels through the use of stopframe motion and close-ups which emphasize the Symbiotic nature of animation in today's digital media. Kohatsu explores cartoon characters as motifs to describe the idea of imaginary self.
Using loops, non-linear narratives and slow-motion images, he creates meditative environments that suggest the expansion of animation as a form of modern art.
