左: “Traces of occupation”の写真は2019年の上海でアーティストによって撮影されたシリーズです。
右: "Traces of occupation"の写真は中国で最も大きなオンラインショップサイト(www.taobao.com)上でアーティストが撮った写真を元に似ている商品を探すことの出来る画像検索機能を使い、類似する商品を見つけ出したシリーズです。
"Traces of occupation"の写真は壊れたフレーム、爪によって作られた穴、古い壁の落書きなどの過去に行われた行為を示すシリーズです。 これらは過去に行われた行為を証明してしますが、現在は人々が共通して認める価値には値しません。しかし、検索された商品はオンラインサイトによって価格が定められており、誰でも購入する事が出来ます。つまり、誰もが商品の所有者になることが出来ます。この作品ではAIによって公共の場にある痕跡がオンライン上で価値のある商品として認識され、 現実とオンラインが矛盾をおびて繋がっています。

Right: By uploading "Traces of occupation" to the biggest Chinese Online Shopping website (www.taobao.com), artist lets the website to find similar pictures online, by using "Image Searching" function, which is originally designed for convenient online shopping here.
"Traces of occupation" is a photo series indicating the existence of past, broken frames, hole left by a nail, peeling graffiti on an old wall...they are evidence of something once existed, while they are now valueless, and usually lacking belongingness. However, goods in online market are defined by specific prices, and can be possibly purchased by anyone, in order words, everyone can become the owner. In this work, traces in public space are recognized by AI as priced merchandise online, connecting the reality and network society in a contradictory way.
トンネル内点灯せよ
2020 年初め、新型肺炎の発生により世界が封鎖、基本的権利が制限され、混乱の闇に命が吹き込まれました。この作品はそれら出来事に着目し、過去にトンネル内で抱いた不安と現在抱えている不安を結び付けるところから始まりました。
トンネル内は外部空間から完全に遮断されるため、鑑賞者に一人でいる時間を与えると同時に、外部空間を求める欲をもたらします。つまり、部屋に閉じ込められている生活状況とトンネルを通過するという行動の類似点は、日常生活（トンネルの外）からの分離ということです。
作品名は、トンネルに入る前に設置された道路標識「トンネル内点灯せよ」からきています。 照明を点ける・点けないを別ける境界線（周囲が暗くなるという事実）があるように、異常自体という事実も、時間の流れに対する境界線と言えるでしょう。つまり、何か非日常な物事が発生しない限り私たちは「点灯」させることはないのです。しかし考え方によっては、私達の考える日常そのものが「点灯」させた状態であり、もともと、ある種大きなトンネルの中にいたのかもしれません。
Early 2020, a new type of pneumonia blocked the world, limiting people’s basic rights and bringing the darkness of confusion to life. This work began by linking the anxiety I had in the tunnel with the anxiety I have right now.
The outside space is completely shielded inside a tunnel, brining up a solitude situation as well as the desire for the outside world. In other words, condition of “trapping inside a room” is connected with the action of “passing through a tunnel”, because both are detached from outside.
The name of the work comes from the road sign "Turn light on in tunnel”, which usually installed at tunnel entrance. The action of (turn light on or not) itself is like a boundary line ( surroundings become dark or not), which can be further interpreted as a boundary line for the flow of time. In other words, we don't “turn light on” unless something unusual happens. However, depending on the way of thinking, our daily life itself can be in a state of “lightened”, while already been inside a larger tunnel.
CAPTION
Extracted from
Albert Camus
"The Plague"
I was in the dark
I tried to see clearly in the dark
For a long time
I can’t feel the difference now
If one of us occasionally tries to talk a few words to the other
Or show some emotions
then no matter what the other party answers
the result will stab the person in the heart
He will find that there is no common language between them
One really talks about his thoughts and pains for a few days.
What he wants to express is the image of long-term waiting and passion
while the other thinks that he is only complaining
about some ordinary sadness
Regardless of whether the answer is good or bad intentions
It is always contrary to the wishes of the speaker
so it is better to be silent
One can't bear the silence of being reticent
but they can't keep up with others neither
so they have to repeat others’ words
about old-fashioned conversations
about general human relations
social dynamics
nothing more than daily news
It has become commonplace to express the most real pain
through vulgar formulas
Not living there
but drifting up and down uncontrollably
abandoned in unorientated days and fruitless memories
like a group of wandering ghosts
