title: Ordinary things, Extraordinary things and then, maybe, Something else

year: 2007

view: Installation at Living in the Material World, things in Art of the 20th Century and Beyond, The National Art Center, Tokyo


note:

The structure of the installation is a kinds of puzzle of recognition. There is 14 different works putting randomly in the passage of 50m long. For instance, there is a red cup on the table and if you walked down, you could find a green cup in the video. So, viewer might wonder about the connection between all those things.

And the work titles are instruction itself. such as "Put in toilet papers for a broom and pull it out quickly", "Go to the other side of paris by walk with chewing gums", "Take an orange and throw it away without thinking too much".
