Statement

Yuta Tamura

Born and lives in Hyogo, Japan.

I am currently making works using low-resolution pixel characters as motifs. This is related to my childhood in the 90s. The images of the many retro video games that I played with in those days continue to inspire me in my creativity.

I have been immersed in video games since childhood, so the fictional characters within them are just as real to me as people in the real world. I want to give these characters physicality and express them as beings that truly exist. This is also my way of showing affection for them.

現在私は低解像度のピクセルキャラクターをモチーフとした作品を製作しています。これは私が90年代に子供時代を過ごしたことが関係しています。当時夢中になって遊んだ数々のレトロテレビゲームのイメージが今も私に創作のインスピレーションを与え続けているのです。

幼い頃からテレビゲーム漬けだった私にとって、ゲーム中の架空のキャラクターは現実世界の人々と同等にリアリティのある存在です。私はそのキャラクター達に身体性を与え、確かに生きている者として表現したいと思っています。これは彼らに対する私の愛情表現でもあります。
