Below text is an excerpt from: https://www.projectfulfill.com/absent---hiraki-sawa-solo-exhibition.html
Hiraki Sawa’s video works create a delicately composed dream-like landscape, where people, objects and animals drift in and out of a series of real and imagined settings, existing within their own sense of logic, inviting the viewer to embark on a poetic, psychological journey into a new state of surrealism. The 2018 video work Absent features a cast of hybrid characters that populate an uncertain narrative; spoons sprouting bird’s wings fly across a bleak landscape, a ghostly pair of scissors paces continuously in a circle, a set of teacups march across an ornate room, where the walls are slowly drifting apart. Sawa transforms the familiar into the strange, a process that reflects the intricacies of memory loss; the unexpected lapses, absences, overlaps, and reinterpretations of memory and reality.
