Artist Kohei Nawa Brings His Pixelated Menagerie to Los Angeles
Artnet News reports that Japanese artist Kohei Nawa is making his Los Angeles solo debut at Pace Gallery with “Photon Camp,” an exhibition that brings together works from his “PixCell” and “Prism” series. Nawa’s “PixCell” sculptures, first made in 2002, encase taxidermied animals and found objects under thousands of transparent spheres, reflecting his long-running interest in how virtual perception reshapes reality. The show is presented as an immersive installation intended to blur boundaries between artwork and environment, and it highlights Nawa’s Kyoto-based studio Sandwich, a collaborative lab he founded in a former sandwich factory.
