| Concept | *English follows Japanese. 私の場合、アイデアはいつも情景として頭の中に現れます。その情景を、造形上の問題を解決しながら忠実に再現することが私の制作です。この作品も特定の人物ではなく、設定に合わせて細部まで想像で作られています。昼寝をしているじいちゃんの鼻の穴を覗いたら宇宙が見えた、という作品です。そして、星に見える光は実は後頭部のつむじに沿って空けられた無数の小さな穴から射し込む外光で、それが宇宙に見えるという単純な仕掛です。 身近な人の中に広大な宇宙のイメージを、壮大と庶民的が、深遠と薄っぺらが、高尚と下世話が、先鋭と平凡が、ファンタジーと日常が、同次元で感じられればとの想いが込められています。 Concept For me, ideas appear as images inside my mind. My work recreates those images as faithfully as possible, while attempting to solve the problems involved in construction. This work is not a specific person, but was made to fit the details I imagined. It is a work that shows a universe that can be seen by peering into an old man's nostril. The light that looks like stars is in fact light coming through numerous small holes made along the hair whorl on the back of the head, and this simple contrivance causes astronomical scene to appear. Based on the idea of massive universes existing inside our close friends and family, this work is filled with the hope that the majestic and the ordinary, profound and flimsy, refined and vulgar, radical and average, fantastic and every-day can be experienced together in the same dimension. Comment for children People are all part of the universe, but each person is a universe in themselves...maybe. |
