One more week to see 𝙉𝙤𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙈𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙙𝙮 at Gasworks @gasworkslondon

I’ve been thinking about making this work since I was a teenager. It’s about women living for night and intoxication. Losing themselves in the darkness and the vibration of sound. This is a story about us.

I met two special women, Catalina and Eri, and finally made it happen. @odorico_catalina @brownfish.eri2

Running time: around 30 minutes. Two-channel video installation.

Come and check ✴︎

Happy Easter! I graduated from Goldsmiths University last year and decided to stay in London (…sometimes Japan) The best course, the best people 💙@goldsmithsartistsmovingimage

1.From graduation ceremony
2. Text from Virginia Woolf, Why Art Today Follows Politics (1936)

しばらく経ってしまったけど、数ヶ月前にロンドン大学ゴールドスミス大学院を卒業しました。奨学金と助成金と学生支援機構…に頼りまくった学生生活もこれで本当に終わり。もっと制作と仕事がんばる！引き続きよろしくお願いします。

芸術家は役立たずだとしても無関心ではない・・・社会が混乱状態にある場合、芸術家も他の市民と同様に強く影響を受けることは明らかである。ただし、その影響は芸術家にとってそれぞれ異なる形で現れる。芸術家のアトリエは、もはやモデルやリンゴについて静かに思いを巡らす平和で閉ざされた場所から、遠く離れることになる。— ヴァージニア・ウルフ『今日の芸術はなぜ政治を気にかけるのか』
