The Hit Song
video installation, 2006, at Traversing Territories Exhibition, Nottingham, UK

This is an installation work in which 3 performers, one of them is the artist himself, are listening and copying the hit songs respectively by uttering their voices. And also each performance is filmed by video camera. Then these 3 video images are arranged and showed with 3 monitors at the gallery.


This work also is aimed at describing separation and simultaneousness of eterritories' in the situation in which the existence of audience at the event and exhibition makes them into apparent one thing. And it is a important thing that an artist himself is acting as one of the performers as well as the actions carried out are purely passive things in which they only imitate or copy the sound hearing like gthe hit song liveh. So this is one of many my works in which I try to tackle an essential subject about author's decision, its privilege, and freedom too.

 

 
Separate Everything
video installation, 2005, at Traversing Territories Exhibition, Tokyo

This work is a video installation in which the artist asks British students to give him a work and film him doing that work when they are preparing their own exhibition. The artist visits each of them several times and he does many works for them. The 5 video images created through this process are projected on a white wall in parallel position.


 

 

 

 

Remote Painting
performance, 2005, at Open Campus, Tokyo

This work is a performance via a live internet streaming between Tokyo and Soul, Korea. The image shooting the artist's face in Tokyo is sent to Soul and projected on a paper screen. On this image some Korean participants are asked to draw anything they want. When Korean people are drawing something, in Tokyo a painter who the artist asked to help this imitates such drawings by Korean people on his real face with watching live video images sent from Soul. And then in Soul by projected video images reflecting Tokyo's work their free drawings and video images almost fit. When the artist's face is filled with those free drawings he washes his face with clean water with saying ereset' and this process is repeated a few times.
