Let's meet for the Art

Using the magic of computer animation, videographer Yusuke Shigeta reimagines the famous folding screen painting from the 1620s. It portrays the Battle of Sekigahara, fought on October 21st, 1600, in the present-day Gifu prefecture, one of the most important battles in Japanese feudal history. The samurai warriors of Tokugawa Ieyasu squared off against those loyal to the ruling Toyotomi clan. With roughly 140,000 troops between them, Ieyasu’s forces won, paving the way for the Tokugawa shogunate, which stayed in power for another 250 years.
Використовуючи магію комп'ютерної анімації, відеограф Юсуке Шігета переосмислює знамениту картину, написану на складній ширмі 1620-х років. Вона зображує битву при Секіґахарі, яка відбулася 21 жовтня 1600 року в сучасній префектурі Гіфу, одну з найважливіших битв в історії японської феодальної історії. 140000 воїнів-самураїв захищали клан Токуґави та протистояли тим, хто був вірний правлячому клану Тойотомі. Вони перемогли. Сьоґунат Токуґава залишався при владі ще 250 років.

Just open a new name - Canadian Inuit artist Luke Anguhadluq. He explored themes of hunting, drum dancing, and community in his delicate primitivist manner. The more madness there is in the world, the more delicate and distant from reality artworks my mind focuses on. Is it the protest against global chaos or the desire to escape?
Просто відкрийте нове ім'я - канадський художник-інуїт Люк Ангухадлук. Він досліджував теми полювання, танців c барабанами, та громади у своїй делікатній примітивістській манері. Чим більше у світі божевілля, тим на быльш делікатним та далеким від реальності творам мистецтва зосереджується мій розум. Чи це протест проти глобального хаосу, чи бажання втекти?
