“Based on research and understand dairy objects at Barcelona, I would like to use them as installation with misunderstanding from Asian culture side. This misunderstanding means creating art piece. The process that the daily use objects record particular situation is becoming art piece. If some objects continue particular motion, these may change to strange form.

And also researching about a public space in Barcelona, especially artificial ecological system like a botanical garden, a zoo, an aquarium etc., will clear the difference between Europe and Asia more. There are many differences between Europe and Asia culture. I will be collecting materials everyday, additionally understand deeply that.

I seek the final installation will be a phenomenon that everyday view looks different, nonetheless it’s constructed by daily use objects.

Therefore when I present a theme, and create a installation through these activity, the final installation will make a contribution for art and cultural activities in Barcelona and Tokyo.”
