GOMA EXHIBITION "Map of Hikari"
Copy the URL
After a higher brain dysfunction and loss of memory due to a traffic accident in 2009, GOMA began drawing detailed dotted drawings two days after the accident. GOMA, one of the world's leading Di Juri Do players and had little connection with painting before the accident, depicts "the scenery seen after losing consciousness."
Even after more than 10 years after the accident, GOMA found that there are certain rules in the memory of the sight that can be seen before consciousness recovers. In this exhibition "Hikari's Map", the first attempt is to compose the scenery from the loss of consciousness to the recovery of GOMA in stages, and to have viewers relive as a "map" with certain rules. Challenge.
In 2018, after visiting an American research institute on an NHK ETV documentary program, GOMA was diagnosed with "acquired Savan syndrome," in which a unique ability suddenly blooms due to a wound in the brain. Since then, GOMA has come to discover a sort of universality in his creative activities through dialogue with doctors, scientists, and people with the same symptoms.
All the works that GOMA calls "Hikari" depict the scenery they met far away from real consciousness. The scenery will evoke the appearance of "Hikari" sleeping at the bottom of our body, transcending races and borders.

“Map of Light”
In 2009, GOMA began to draw intricate pointillism only two days after a car accident that caused him higher brain dysfunction and amnesia.GOMA, one of the world's leading didgeridoo players who had little connection with painting before the accident, draws the scenery he sees after losing consciousness.
More than a decade has passed since the accident, but GOMA still falls into a coma from time to time.
In 2018, he visited a medical research institute in the United States for an NHK ETV documentary production focusing on the process of his recovery.
There, GOMA was diagnosed with acquired Savant Syndrome, a presentation of (often extraordinary) scholarly skills that can emerge after a non-disabled individual suffers a traumatic brain injury or illness.
Through dialogues with doctors, scientists, and people with similar symptoms, GOMA found a sort of universality in his creative activities and decided to coexist with the intense energy swarming inside his brain rather than fight against it.
After experiencing a coma state many times, GOMA discovered a consistency across his memories of the scenery before becoming conscious.
Light plays an essential role in this process. According to near-death experience researchers, light is also an element reported by many people across different races and gender who had similar experiences to GOMA.
The "Map of Light" exhibition is the first attempt to invite the viewers to relive GOMA's experience through a composition of sceneries, beginning from the loss of consciousness that then moves towards recovery, step by step in a specific order, like following a map.
Here there is GOMA's strong will to "show a trail to return from the 'world of light' where anyone may depart to one day".
All works that GOMA names "Hikari ('Light' in Japanese) " depict scenes he encountered far away from the conscious state existing within the realms of reality.
These sceneries will awaken the figure of "Hikari" that sleeps in the depths of our bodies.
