Mr Demanding seems to reflect on global mass entertainment fixations, albeit in a wretched lo-fi style. There's a kind of Blue Peter bathos to both works, but they are also very witty. Ideas about nature, consumption and mortality are mixed in there too, but in a light, easy-going manner.
Artist's Statement:
Yohei Yashi's works land somewhere between sculpture and installation, employing cameras and TV monitors to synthesise fictive spaces which are combined with toy-like sculptural contraptions. In these agglomerations childlike pathos, the tragically abject, and wry humour conspire to disrupt the integrity of the space and disarm the viewer.
