I hope that the same work will have a different meaning 10 years from now than it does now.
I think that the incorporation of the "city" has allowed the viewer to feel the flow of time in the work compared to the past.
KYNE: This was something I was conscious of from the beginning. I thought it would be interesting to incorporate the scenery of the place so that the work itself would remain as a record of the city. It is just a landscape of Shibuya now, but I hope that 10 or 20 years from now, when people see this work, they will think, "Oh, this is what Shibuya was like in that era. The last time I held a solo exhibition was in 2017, and compared to just three years ago, I think the town of Shibuya has changed drastically since then. When I come here for the first time in a long time, I am honestly surprised to see where I am. I am honestly surprised (laughs).
Do you have any new ideas or plans for the future?
KYNE: Up to now, I have intentionally avoided motifs that limit the time period, but this time, for example, there is a work with a smartphone on display. I hope to incorporate time and era in my own way. Like the cityscapes, I think each of them will remain as a style in the future, but I do not yet know how they will develop, and I hope that I can look forward to them without limiting myself too much.
