sometimes i work

"sometimes i work" captures the transitional moment between the completion and the beginning of a work. It explores the idea of revisiting the same subject from different perspectives, repeating it until the right moment to pause arises. It does not necessarily imply an ending but rather the awareness to shift focus to a new subject.

sometimes i work is part of the series audio&video, where sound and visual elements intersect in multiple directions. The same work can also take shape as a singular poetic expression, like the one below.

sometimes i work

sometimes i work hard
sometimes i work too hard
it inspires me to work on something else

Eguchi is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the concept of connection through a diverse range of media, including videos, drawings, paintings, sculptures, objects, and installations. Fernando’s practice navigates through distinct approaches, interlacing structure, and fluidity as he explores his inner voice, reflecting the ever-changing nature of his artistic journey.

Having lived and worked in Brazil, Japan, and the United States, Eguchi draws on cultural intersections and contrasts, creating space for reflections and dialogues. Influenced by elements of nature, architecture, music, and urban culture, he weaves together the imaginary and the tangible, using art as a universal language -when words fall short.
