Kazuko Hohki/Scratch performance stills at Battersea Art Centre

I was picking up stills of Kazuko Horki and Mervyn Millar's performance "REASONS FOR LIVING SCRATCH" which was performed on last May at Battersea Art Centre. Because they need to get photos for publishing.

I was shooting videos and editing it now. I helped performance as a performer, too. (Well,, even though it was really small appearance,,!)

The performance piece was amazing. People will experience the piece of performance to lying inside of a small tent. Then we can see the lights and sounds. We can not see any actors, so we can feel abstract lights and voices. The tent itself is dark, so audience can't expect what will happen next. The play's is short, but poetic, humour and warm. Kazuko's pieces are always amazing!!!!

Well,,, I'm still editing the video, so if I finish it, I will put on Web soon.

My new painting and drawing series

When my brain become confusion, I often play drawing or painting.
I used to do painting a lot when I was teenager, so I missed paints a lot.
I love absstaction, but this time, I painted portraits.
These are portraits about someone I met in my past.

Ron Arad was on i-Bum! / Palm read by Bob and Roberta Smith

Ron Arad was on i-Bum today!
He said his trousers are Yoji Yamamoto. I scanned his Yojinized bum.
He visited our Resonance FM booth.

Also, Japanese contemporary painter Tomoko Nagai sat on my bum chair, too.
She is showing at Tomio Koyama gallery at frieze.
Her paints are visually entertaining, and fun. I like her work.I got a palm read by Bob and Roberta Smith. He is doing palm read to show how much I am suitable as an artist to raise funds for Resonance. Bob is a lovely guy.
I had a result, too. My palm read was not too bad??
