The 2nd ‘Remastered Classic’ is now up for all to see here and at K-Space in Amsterdam and this time it’s by Eiko Ishizawa from Japan who describes her idea as follows:
I wanted to camouflage the figure of the statue in the glamorous or almost even kitschy and heavenly atmosphere of the typical classic garden where often this kind of classic statues is placed. By hanging the monkey around the neck of the woman statue that is half way of the body is modified as tree, I wanted to overlap the meanings as humor that the image of the man jump on the woman, and at the same time the monkey is just living in heavenly place.

Eiko graduated from the Gerrit Rietvelt Academy in Amsterdam where she continues to live and describes here work in the arts as ‘inspired by how we perceive things in everyday stories while being influenced by something invisible, such as emotions and atmosphere in relation with the optical facts. My work often plays with the layers of meanings or layers of images and objects that attempts to get the audience into the discovery journey. The work is often expressed as theatrical stage set in order to almost camouflage the content, but rather to let audience to enjoy and to discover by themselves.’
