Author's comment

I am interested in how we can capture the entire image of a three-dimensional object in two dimensions through various visual systems.

Judge's review
Rather than abstracting things as images from a fixed direction, Horikawa depicts the same object with lines, shifting his viewpoint and even moving the object itself, much like Cezanne. Horikawa attempts to present things as a whole, rather than from a fixed perspective, through a process that seems to involve viewing things from multiple perspectives. Although the work is flat, it makes us strongly aware of spatiality. (Taro Amano)
