Aya Momose, known for her work which deals with the topics of voice and body, reopens ongoing ques­tions from within her prac­tice that con­cern the act of watch­ing mov­ing images, via mov­ing images them­selves. Her work ex­poses the mo­ment of in which sub­jec­tiv­i­ty can waver, and the reality of the un­cer­tainty of our re­la­tionships with others. In her solo ex­hi­bi­tion I.C.A.N.S.E.E.Y.O.U, her first in Tokyo in three years,the artist focuses on the aspect of video as an emotional apparatus. It presents video works that employ visual languages and gestures, such as a movement of the eyes, or sign language, to explore the relations that are constructed through gaze and the desires within oneself.
