Following the worldwide success of his Poemotion trilogy, Takahiro Kurashima presents a stunning new title. In Moirémotion, the motifs are combined to form a visual narrative that is revealed when the static basic image is set in motion by means of the striped foil. Then an astonishing panorama of unseen moirés and patterns unfolds.

The artist uses digital tools for his creations in a virtuoso manner. At the same time, he continues to catch up with the great models of kinetic art. Moirémotion is a school of vision and offers contemplative recreation for our eyes.

Scarlett W. ★★★★★

The feel of these pages is almost hypnotic—you flip slowly and the overlapping lines start to dance into shapes you didn't see coming. I’ve had it on my coffee table for a week and keep picking it up just to watch a new pattern emerge. A quiet little gem for anyone who loves optical play.

Jacob ★★★★★

I wasn’t sure how a book of patterns could tell a story, but the way the transparent overlays build a visual narrative page after page is genuinely clever. The pacing feels deliberate, almost like a film, and it’s the kind of thing you’ll flip through again just to catch a new moment.

Thomas V. ★★★★★

Flipping through this feels like choreographing a tiny performance in my hands, the layered patterns shifting and dancing as you turn each page. The interactive moiré effect is even more hypnotic than I hoped, and the narrative arc keeps me coming back to see what sequence comes next.
