Institute of Contemporary Art San José

A contemporary art museum in downtown San José.

Charles Ginnever: Rashomon

December 11, 2019 by BellaR

Charles Ginnever: Rashomon borrows its title from the Akira Kurasawa film of the same name, which presents widely differing accounts of four witnesses to the same crime. Reflective of the film’s plot, Ginnever’s installation consists of identical units, each of which is capable of assuming 15 distinct positions. Every angle of a Ginnever sculpture presents us with a different work of art; as one moves around the sculpture, the piece is transformed, evolving at a different pace and in a different way. According to Ginnever, “My work sits motionless and is only activated by the viewer moving around it – only then does it start to perform.”
