Life is...
2017
Receipt, daily necessity

I created a space in the museum that imitated a room with daily necessities.
And I installed drawings of daily events on the back of all the receipts I got in 2016 in there.
Motifs and letters are sometimes wrong because the drawings are made upside down.
This work was exhibited at “The 13th Gunma Biennale for Young Artists 2017” at The Museum of Modern Art, Gunma.


 

I do drawings upside down. I feel I can touch dizzy surreal from the strange distortion made unintentionally.

For example, when I feel dizzy or have fever, the scenery I see is distorted and I lose my sense of balance.

That as if I have been in the other world from the world that I usually see.

At that time, I have doubts about the daily scenes, that are assembled methodically and followed the law.

I decided to use receipts. Receipts are not important for almost all people, however, those record what you doing day by day.

Receipts will turn white some day. At that time, we may forget our rambling daily lives we spent.

Alternatively, those may turn very rough memories those were distorted, falsification, dramatization and deformation.

The piles of daily lives are the things those might turn blurred and distorted as time goes on.

The scene in the memories is not always assembled methodically.

I keen to touch with the unseen and ambiguous part of everyday life.

I will keep thinking about whether the world I see now is correct or the squishy and dizzy sometimes I see.
