Akira Wakita

Postoperative

2021

360-degree Dome Video

After suffering from a malignant tumor in 2014, the artist, Akira Wakita, has been taking tomographic images (CT scans) of his abdomen on a regular basis. This film is a three-dimensional reconstruction of the CT images taken immediately after the surgery and made into a three-minute domed video. As if to visualize his anxiety about recurrence or metastasis, the shape of the body gradually transforms into a demonic architecture.
