Big Time

Artikelnummer 10159669

Big Time is an exhibition publication devoted to the work of Japanese contemporary artist Tatsuo Miyajima, internationally known for his installations incorporating electronic LED counters and continuously changing numerical displays. Published by the Hayward Gallery in 1997, the catalogue explores Miyajima's distinctive investigation of time, change, continuity, life and death through digital technology. Numbers counting and cycling through sequences become both visual elements and philosophical devices, transforming electronic displays into meditations on human existence and the passage of time. Miyajima's practice combines conceptual art, installation, sculpture, light and digital technology, while also reflecting ideas concerning cycles, transformation and continuity. The publication documents an important period in the artist's international career during the 1990s and places his technologically based installations within the wider context of contemporary Japanese and international art. Richly illustrated, Big Time is an important catalogue for collectors and researchers interested in Tatsuo Miyajima, Japanese contemporary art, digital and electronic art, installation art, light art and artistic explorations of time and temporality.
