TOYOSHIMA Yasuko (1967-) is an artist who continues to consciously ask questions about the frameworks, mechanisms, and rules that establish human thinking, recognition, and actions in society. Toyoshima has engaged in a means of practice that entails her to delve into the various mechanisms that people harbor within themselves, and visualizing their entire structure through recreating them as her own expressions. Sterilization is a work in which a germicidal lamp and color samples are placed inside a display case. The colors of the color samples that should indeed be protected, gradually fade due to the ultraviolet rays emitted by the germicidal lamp. The role of the UV-cut film that is attached to the display case in order to protect the work from the outside world, has been reversed here to protect the outside world / viewers. In this work, what is supposed to be well known appear unfamiliar, leading the viewer’s awareness to contemplate the space in which we stand and its very framework.
