Are you looking for something?

Performance, single channel video 11”36 mins, 2022

現代社会において常に自己のアイデンティティや目的を求められるプレッシャーに対して、些細な抵抗を行うパフォーマンス作品。服屋で「何かお探しですか」と聞かれた場合には「生きる意味」と答え、美容室で聞かれた場合には嘘の職業で通すことで、自己をあえて曖昧な存在にしている。

This is a performance piece that records minor acts of resistance against the constant pressure to declare an identity and purpose in contemporary society. When asked, “What are you looking for?” at a clothing store, the artist answers, “The meaning of life,” and when asked at a beauty salon, “What do you do?” he dares to make himself appear more ambiguous by claiming to possess a false occupation.
