Signed, dated and numbered by the artist in pencil directly below the image — \u003cem\u003e17\/60\u003c\/em\u003e visible in the photograph — in the tradition of Japanese conceptual photo-documentation as both record and artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe image shows two slabs of stone or slate, each marked with parallel white lines, laid end to end across a drainage channel cut into gravel earth. Trees and their roots frame the background. The white lines on each slab are painted or drawn — applied directly to raw material — and the gap between the two elements is not a failure of alignment but its subject: the interval, the space between, the moment where material and void meet and define each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSuga Kishio is a central figure of Mono-ha — the Japanese movement of the late 1960s and 1970s that refused the transformation of materials and instead placed them in relation, allowing stone, rope, wood, steel and earth to assert their own presence. Where Western minimalism abstracted materials into geometric form, Mono-ha left them as found, intervening only to arrange encounters. \u003cem\u003eElements of Alignment\u003c\/em\u003e is one of the clearest statements of that logic: two slabs, two white lines, a gap, gravel, trees. Nothing is hidden, nothing is fabricated. What is revealed is the relationship itself — alignment as proposition, the interval as content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe photograph documenting this 1975 work is now itself an edition of 60, printed in archival pigment and carrying Suga’s hand directly in the pencil signature and numbering below the image. It is both document and artwork: the photograph completes the work’s existence in the world, since the original site arrangement was always temporary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"S1PPyQ\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/collections\/collection-lee-ufan-minimalisme-philosophie-zen-et-esthetisme-radical\" title=\"Collection Lee ufan\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"Contact\" href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003e➡️ Contact us for any question\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"443\" data-end=\"454\"\u003eFAQ \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an original Suga Kishio print?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — an original archival pigment print, signed, dated and numbered in pencil by the artist, from an edition of 60.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does “1975\/2023” mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original site work was created in 1975; the archival pigment print was produced in 2023 for the MoMAK 60th Anniversary Edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Mono-ha?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMono-ha (literally “School of Things”) was a Japanese avant-garde movement of the late 1960s–70s in which artists placed raw, unaltered materials in relation to one another and to their environment, investigating presence, space and the interval between objects.
