February 17, 2022

Composed of 20 pieces of salvaged metal signs, o/e showcases many important elements of Kenji Nakayama’s artistic practice, such as his interest in deconstructing and reconstructing characters to create vocabulary that is at once familiar yet foreign to viewers. The video below shows Nakayama’s process for creating the piece.
