Ayumi Adachi with Wangsim at TGIF

Hong Kong based Japanese artist Ayumi Adachi has a special relationship with time, space, and nature. The large scale site specific installation is organically occupying the space of TGIF (so organically actually that some of the visitors assumed it’s a permanent exhibition). Inspired by the buddhist concept of ksana, the shortest possible spec of time, the installation consists of numerous paper sheets covered with hand drawn black lines. Each line alludes to continuous moments of time, being at the same time a literal documentation of the time spent by the artist. Assembled later in volumous crumpled structures these lines may symbolize not only the space occupied by time but the interconnected and non linear nature of it.
The installation is paired with works on paper from different series. Spraying water—or letting rain do the job—over the grey tone inkjet printed biological illustrations Ayumi Adachi summons up the magenta and cyan pigments of the ink, coloring the illustrations in an unpredictable way. In the “Komorebi” series the artist captures the elusive patterns of the sunshine spots filtered through the leaves, saving the moments of peace and natural beauty.

TGIF is not only a cozy and convenient coffee place but a place for cultural experience (not only on Fridays). Follow @tgif_hk for the latest news and announcements of the upcoming events.
