Shoichi Ida

"Art should not be an artist’s monologue; it should be able to set up some form of communication. This is why it’s sometimes necessary for me to become a nobody. By dropping my own identity I try to put myself in the same space as the communication process between the materials and whatever stands opposite them. This then makes it possible for the "entity" opposite the materials to be the viewer of my works."
