ubique
by Hiroto Yoshizoe
"ubique," meaning "ubiquitous" in Latin, is a project by Hiroto Yoshizoe exploring the possibilities of invisible phenomena. Rooted in Japanese cultural values of transformation, impermanence, and harmony with nature, it reveals the hidden potential of materials through the interplay of light, shadow, and air. The work uses metal, silk, and wire to form a dynamic apparatus that influences space and perception. Central to this is the ARAKAWA GRIP wire-hanging system, a precision-engineered mechanism allowing components to be freely positioned and adjusted on the wire. This enables constant spatial changes and an evolving sense of balance within the installation.
"ubique" manifests the permeation of intangible elements into material and space, embodying their ubiquitous presence. It delicately portrays both transient phenomena and lasting continuity through the convergence of light and shadow.
Inderjeet Sandhu defines the home not only as a space of domesticity but also as a political arena where personal, social, and cultural dynamics converge. he views the home as a site of negotiation, where comfort and tradition clash with the consequences of colonization, migration, and adaptation.This environment, where the personal merges with the mass-produced and the unique, plays a significant role in his practice. He translates political, personal, and societal themes into domestic objects, blurring the boundaries between private and public.
