Uncostumed Love
<作品ステートメント>
虚構の時代といわれる現代社会。日本では「コスプレ」というもはや文化といってもよい行為がある。コスプレは外見をとある対象に似せるだけの行為にとどまらず、精神のありようまでをも変容させる儀式に等しく、それはつまり「純化」である。
この作品では、コスプレや仮装をしたカップルを日本の街頭と対比させることで、純化したふたりの愛と、剥落する虚構の破片を映し出す。
Cosplay, short for “costume play”, is already an internationally well known term. It has transformed its purpose from a mere role play using various costumes to an activity aimed purely on creating a new personality for the person to be in this quarter of century.
On the other hand, the social milieu is becoming increasingly complicated, as in the case of post-modern society. Today, most people find it difficult not only to engage in some kind of pure activity, but also to identify their own personality.
This artwork, which I named “Uncostumed Love”, is an experiment to determine which one is purer: is it the costumed couples or the people around them emerging from the crowd?
It is my hope that you will be able to identify various shapes of love as well
