黄金町エリアマネジメントセンター Koganecho Area Management Center 나는 상어를 모티프로 삼아, 스스로가 상어로 변모해 가는 과정을 작품으로 표현하고 있다. 도시 하천이나 자연 환경에 상어의 지느러미를 등장시키거나, 상어의 생태와 형태, 인간과 상어의 관계에서 얻은 이야기를 입체물이나 영상을 활용한 설치 미술로 일상적인 환경에 개입시킴으로써, 현실과 비현실, 인공과 야생이 교차하는 경계를 제시한다. 도시 속의 자연과, 인간이 상어(물고기)와 어떻게 관계를 맺어왔는지를, 일본 주변의 해양 환경부터 세계 각지의 항구와 어촌에서 볼 수 있는 문화와 산업을 조사하면서, 인간과 상어의 관계성을 끊임없이 탐구하고 있다. 상어라는 존재를 매개로, 인간 중심적인 관점에서 벗어나 인간과 타종, 환경과의 관계성, 그리고 거기서 탄생하는 이야기를 재고한다. 상어를 모티프로 삼아, 나 자신이 상어로 변모해 가는 과정을 탐구하는 작품을 창작한다. 도시의 강과 자연 환경에 상어 지느러미를 도입하고, 상어의 형태와 행동, 인간과 상어의 관계에서 비롯된 이야기들을 바탕으로 한 조각과 영상 작품을 결합한 설치 미술을 통해 일상 환경에 개입함으로써, 현실과 허구, 인공과 야생이 교차하는 경계를 제시한다. 도시 환경 내에 존재하는 자연에 대한 연구와, 사람들이 상어 및 물고기와 맺어온 관계의 양상을 통해, 일본을 둘러싼 해양 환경은 물론 전 세계 항구와 어촌의 문화 및 산업을 아우르며 인간과 상어의 관계를 탐구한다. 상어를 매개체로 삼아, 나는 그 너머로 나아가고자 한다. 私は、サメをモチーフに、自らがサメへとメタモルフォーゼしていくプロセスを作品化している。 都市河川や自然環境にサメのヒレを出現させたり、サメの生態や形態、人間とサメとの関係性から得た物語を立体物や映像を用いたインスタレーションとして身近な環境に介入させることで、 現実と非現実、人工と野生が交差する境界を提示する。 都市の中にある自然や、人がサメ（魚）との関係をどのように築いてきたのか、日本周辺の海洋環境から世界各地の港や漁村に見られる文化や産業をリサーチしながら、人とサメとの関係性を 探究し続けている。 サメという存在を媒介に、人間中心的な視点から離れ、人間と他種、環境との関係性や、そこから生まれる物語を問い直す。 Using sharks as a motif, I create works that explore the process of my own metamorphosis into a shark. By introducing shark fins into urban rivers and natural environments, and by intervening in everyday surroundings with installations incorporating sculptures and video works derived from stories emerging from shark morphology, behavior, and human–shark relationships, I present the boundaries where reality and fiction, the artificial and the wild intersect. Through research into the nature that exists within urban environments, as well as the ways in which people have formed relationships with sharks and fish, I investigate human–shark relationships across marine environments surrounding Japan and through the cultures and industries found in ports and fishing villages around the world. Using the shark as a mediator, I seek to move beyond. |
