A moment _ 6：57 pm Installation

Things that occupy space according to their usages, always existing on given places in daily repetitive life. I have interest in such daily things. Because we see daily things everyday, they do not have special meanings, and people do not put significant meanings on the things. When looking at the things, we consider them just as instrumental value because they are perceived with emotion that has been gained through countless repetition of general experiences. The repetition in daily life has given the daily objects designated places and space, and that naturally made stereotypes, which means familiar things as they are put on a designated place and also means space foamed by the things put on the place. Here is a chair. A chair is just regarded as a comfortable and practical object that provides people with a spot to sit down. That is because of people’s views on chair. The views are like these: how bright or dark the chair is, whether it is designed for humans’ body, whether the size is right for a given space, and how much it is. Over the last three years, I have been interested in accepting the daily things as they are. This interest was fundamental starting point that made me write a thesis on different usages of the things from original usages, getting out of functional fixation. The reason I had interest in tableware out of many things is based on the interest in eating behaviors. Every day, people conduct the processes of cooking, putting on tableware and eating. What is interesting while having a meal is most people take pictures of well-done foods before eating. They just see the tableware as functional roles for meal. But, I like to see the neat and organized tables that become unorganized as people eat. A trace remains after sauce and coffee are spilt out, a spoon falls down, and food is left behind. They are beautiful and marvelous they arelike a trace of a brush with which is colored on a canvas. I like taking pictures of tableware on a canvas which is a table as well because a short-term moment like performance art can be remembered forever. The two-dimensional pictures turn to the three-dimensional frames, and the frames are put on a wall. I believe that I can suggest new views by showing what is happening on a table just as it is and, at the same time, by putting on a wall.  Tableware moves during a given meal time. Everything moves.
