" INDIVIDUALITY"
2021.11 Gallery Niepce, Tokyo
Statement
"I thought that if I stayed there, no one would be offended. But no one was offended."
This "T" is a stage marking.
It is mainly used to mark the center of the stage and where the performers stand.
Performers are expected to be individualistic on a daily basis, but it is fundamental for them to keep it on the stage.
I loved finding this mark. Because I think, "If I comply with this, there is no doubt about it.
However, in the real world, this mark is nowhere to be found.
Instead, there are many "invisible T".
For example, there are many "invisible T" in drinking party.
And there should be one when it is lunchtime at school.
"Where can I be sure to sit?".
I think we have all thought about this at least a little bit.
What is the individuality we all seek while complying with a position, what is INDIVIDUALITY?
I took this mark as a symbol of my own way of being. It is a mental representation of the feeling of being at the mercy of the "invisible T" on a daily basis.
I thought that if I stayed there, no one would be offended.
But no one was offended.
Maybe because being there is so average that people are indifferent.
