Akira Wakita

For Alan and Keith

2021

A Series of Works

I wanted to create a timeless dialogue between two artistic geniuses, Alan Turing (father of computer science) and Keith Herring, who lived in different eras as sexual minorities. In my works, I mathematically reinterpreted Harings drawings and expressed the changing discussion of diversity while shifting from homophobia to a more accepting one of LGBT.
