3331 Arts Chiyoda is delighted to present "Photo Sculpture", a solo exhibition of works by 3331 ART FAIR 2018 recommended artist, Daisuke Ida.

For this exhibition, Ida created 3D data using the vast number of images uploaded onto the Internet, transforming them visually into the form of sculpture. Taken as Ida's motif, "The Gates of Hell" by Auguste Rodin is an incomplete work. Regardless, numerous bronze "originals" were cast after the famous sculptor's death. It can even be stated that this work represents the issue of "original" and "copy" embedded in the history of sculpture. While Ida's "Photo Sculpture" forces viewers to question whether the medium is photography, 3D data, or sculpture, it also raises the relationship between original and copy, as well as image and reality. Overall, the work is a study of what "original" means in contemporary society. We invite you to come view Ida's challenge to expand this new sculptural expression that cannot be captured in real space.

"Photo Sculpture" is a series I began in 2016 that attempts to visualize our ever-expanding physical sensations in contemporary society. I have produced several works up to this date, but it is the first time to try presenting them in one package as a solo exhibition. While thinking about the uncertainty of the information put on the Internet and the various ways that we perceive things, I want to find an answer in my own terms to the question - "What kind of sculpture represents contemporary society?"

The Work of Art in the Age of Digital Reproduction

"Photo Sculpture" by Daisuke Ida extends the artist's ongoing enquiry into the work of art in the age of digital reproduction.

His critique of the mode of production of the original and copy, image and realism, what is authentic or real; a thematic for his work. In principle, a work of art has always been reproducible. Artefacts could always be imitated.[1] Historically, reproducibility advanced intermittently and in leaps at long intervals, but in our digital age with accelerated intensity. The technique of reproduction has then reached an essentially new stage.

Collectively titled "Photo Sculpture", Ida's works reference "The Gates of Hell" by French artist Auguste Rodin. Ida's reproduction, a plurality of possible copies, reactivates the object reproduced. Ida's reinterpretation of the work acquires a kind of ubiquity, the transmission and reproduction of a famous work of art is the artwork itself. A reappraisal of the aura of the original work, its presence in time and space, and its unique existence are questioned.
