The art collective known as Mé [目], which translates to “eye” in Japanese, has garnered significant attention for their hyper-realistic sculpture of ocean waves. This installation, titled “Contact”, was showcased at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo and highlights their incredible skill in crafting a piece that so closely resembles the swelling and surging of the sea. The detail and precision in “Contact” are so remarkable that it challenges one’s immediate understanding of what is real and what is artifice.
Comprised of artist Haruka Kojin, director Kenji Minamigawa, and production manager Hirofumi Masui, the collective focuses on creating artworks that manipulate perceptions of the physical world. Their pieces consistently prompt a questioning of the reliability and certainty of our surroundings. Through their meticulous craftsmanship and conceptual depth, Mé Collective offers profound commentary on the nature of perception and reality itself, pushing the boundaries of how we experience art.
Mé Collective consistently works on the realization of artworks that manipulate perceptions of the physical world. Their installations are designed to provoke an awareness of the inherent unreliability and uncertainty present in the world around us. By blurring the lines between the natural and the constructed, they encourage a deeper consideration of how we interpret and interact with our environment, leaving a lasting impression on those who experience their unique creations.
