Kikuma’nın son iki yılda ürettiği eserlerden bir seçki sunan “afterimage” sanatçının
geleneksel resim teknikleri haricinde deneysel yöntemler kullanarak, izleyicinin aslında içinde ve çevresinde var olan ama göremediğiimgeleri keşfetmesine olanak sağlar.
Sanatçı malzeme seçiminde ağırlıklı olarak siyah mürekkep kullanmış, saç kurutma makinası,
radyatör, ütü gibi küçük ev eşyalarını iz bırakma araçları olarak görmüş ve pratiğinde yeni bir dil oluşturmuştur. Bu izler çoğunlukla ritmik, mekanik ve birbirini tekrarlayan bir biçimde karşımızaçıkar.
Sergi 14 Ocak’tan itibaren 23 Ocak’a kadar izlenebilir.
