What We Have Done Since That Time [2011]

Performance at The Holly Stubbings Gallery(uk)

▼映像 [2:38]

Description
日本人は原爆に関する教育を受ける中で、精神的に被爆をする。
それは新たな世代の新たな被爆のカタチ。
忘れない様にするために、繰り返さないためにと皆は言う。
けれど日本は核爆弾を所持していない。落としたこともない。
語り継ぐのは被害者間で慰め合う為かはたまたセンシティブにする為か。
薄いカーテンの向こうで鶴を折り続ける人物はそんな状況を可視化している。
 
 
 
What We Have Done Since That Time

This performance was made to express the Japanese behavior towards the atomic bombs.
The curtain screens the audience’s view and people can’t see what I am doing inside very well. And I continue to make paper cranes. My action in my performance shows how Japanese people keep the memories of the A-bombs alive through education. Moreover, the weight of this information makes people the next generation a new type of victim. We are bombed in our minds in our schooldays. Therefore Japanese people are very sensitive about the A-bombs even we are not actual victims. I expressed thus as a performance.
