An animated commercial created for the joint exhibition “Our Ancestors” by Kataoka Meriyasu, Saigo no Shudan, and Chie Chihiro (the main film is not公开). This is an experimental attempt in which the three artists’ respective cultures—Kataoka Meriyasu: stuffed animals, Saigo no Shudan: animation and illustration, Chie Chihiro: ceramics—interact through language, images, and barter, and develop a unique culture within the exhibition, much as ancient peoples developed their cultures.

Description: An experimental video work that questions human society through the behavior of ants, exploring the reaction of a system that has reached a point of saturation. In a simplified space, ants keep walking atop a cube of endless corridors with no beginning or end, as food rains down from above from the sky. Their pheromones trace infinite paths like the corridors themselves, guiding the ants that follow behind. Once the ants become aware of the pheromone feedback, they one after another attempt to escape to the lower world, only to begin walking in circles again. Through the perspective of these small creatures, this work asks viewers about a certain law that lies at the end of an artificial system.

When playing with children on the rocky shore, I noticed that tiny creatures were teeming all around us. I sought to capture the unadorned beauty and vitality of the summer sea, glimpsed through small things in the water: tide pools sparkling in the intense summer light, fish swimming in those clear pools of seawater, the decay of dead fish, and jellyfish rising leisurely toward the sun. I have intentionally incorporated the motif of dead fish, but I also believe that death is an important event in the cycle of life, and that it too can be naturally and beautifully alive. For that reason, I sometimes include decayed plants and animals as motifs. I created this work with the hope that it would connect to the intrinsic life value and beauty of human beings themselves, something that is often overlooked in contemporary society. By deliberately focusing on small beings and enlarging them into a grand work, I believe we may become aware of the value of each individual cell. I am also personally captivated by that small-scale beauty.
