We are pleased to present "Subject / Object / Object", the exhibition by Takeyuki Hakozaki / Hiroyuki Arikawa(WORKSHOP™︎).
Statement
This work is structured around the relational dynamics between acrylic discs and turntables. The discs lack both center holes and grooves, leaving the stylus without a predetermined trajectory. As it glides, leaps, and grinds across the surface, the stylus generates both sound and trace. In this configuration, the object itself becomes the agent of sonic determination, inverting the conventional subject-object relation between disc and turntable. Sound emerges autonomously through the movement and friction of material bodies.
The fluorescent light objects, positioned in opposition to the sonic apparatus, engage in intermittent flickering. While each turntable operates on an independent sequence, its rotational behavior is modulated by the interference of the light’s temporal rhythm, producing new patterns of motion. This asynchronous configuration gives rise to a stratified temporality within the space—one that does not convey predetermined meaning, but instead manifests through différance and decentered emergence.
Within this field, all entities coexist on equal ontological footing. Each maintains its own rhythm and behavior, without fully connecting to the others. Objects resist reduction to perception or function, always withholding something of themselves, and appearing only partially, never in full disclosure.
