③ Soft Impact
[Description]
It was summer when I was a high school student, I tripped
over during working in a high altitude. It was 6m high, the ground was asphalt.
It was less than a moment until the fall, but my brain predict the huge impact
that would occur to my body.
…and next moment…

[Artist Statement]
I am a sculptor who makes art by using my body as a
tool and material. My work starts from thinking about system to make a thing
with my emotional and simple action. Quite often I record my creative
activities in video clip or other visual media, so that others can watch them.
Not only the final form of work but also the making process is one of my
important expressions. So I don’t want to divide my work and my action. For
that reason, I appear in many of my own works. And sometimes it becomes like
performing art. I want to get physical feeling at the moment of the creation,
and point out the possibility of contacts with our bodies with all of the
things and happenings.
