Description
A work to lead spectator to a position of a performer.
An installation for an exhibition "De-Genderism" at Setagaya Museum, Japan. When you enter the semicircle room (devided into two rooms by a screen), you are asked whether to enter with your clothes on or not. To the person who chose to take off his clothes, a special eyewear "Jagarandi" is lended. With this on, you can see the silouette of a person in the otherside of the screen. Without wearing the eyewear, you see nothing in this complete dark room. The screen deviding the room is elastic so you can touch each other's body if you want to.
