Excerpt from the article
“…
Here, the collaboration between Issey Miyake and artist Eugene Kangawa unfolds as a creative tension between tradition and the avant-garde. The project stems from a dialogue—an exchange of ideas and intuitions between the A-POC ABLE team and Kangawa. On one side, the poetic world of “Light and shadow inside me”, where sun-treated paper becomes a tale of absence and revelation, and monochrome frames bend light into silent architectures.
What makes this exhibition truly revolutionary is the unexpected fusion of languages that are usually kept apart: fabric is treated as a kind of photosensitive surface, light becomes a pictorial medium, and memory turns into architecture. Kangawa and Miyake begin with “minimal units”—a single thread, a grain of silver, a fold, a gleam—then build a narrative shaped by waiting, mistakes, repetitions, and revelations.
…
TYPE-XIV Eugene Studio Project thus becomes a true threshold between discipline and freedom, between the invisible and the visible, between the ancient and the future. Paris embraces its vibration as a promise: here, matter is light, light is history, and every visitor, in the rhythm of shadows, can seek their own metamorphosis.
…
“Everything that exists already carries light and shadow within itself, even before forming any relationship with others. What I have sought is a form of painting, or two-dimensional work, in which the piece itself enacts this condition.”
-Eugene Kangawa”
