Projektinfo

Throughout our career we have experimented with incorporating metamorphosis, destruction, deterioration, and wear into the process of creating our works.
The project we would be working on during the residency at quartier21 would be an extension of that. For this project, we would be collaborating with our dog, Anne, who lives with us.
We would carve a group of small primitive wooden sculptures, then present them to Anne as toys, and finally exhibit the pieces after they have undergone a transformation from her playing with them, nibbling and breaking them. Also a video taken of Anne playing with the sculptures would be projected beside it.
This project reflects the concept of Mujo or impermanence innate within us Japanese and characteristic of a country that sees so many natural disasters, expressed in the saying that "All things are in a state of flux".
