“The fact that I can’t get up” — is it my body that won’t rise? No. Not being able to get up was a mental refusal, a rejection of wanting to get up. If that is the case, I may as well give up on getting up, focus on the body lying down, and surrender myself to pure sensation alone. It feels almost like being an infant. I sink into the inside of my eyes, deep behind the retina. And then, what do I find? A soft, baby-like, comforting sensation. Breathing in, a warm heartbeat, the texture of a blanket. It was as if it were stimulating opioid receptors, blending sedation and awakening. The hidden children inside me seemed to have awakened. The ringing alarm clock leads me into a dream. Spreading opioids. A revolving merry-go-round bed. Entering inward, behind the eyes, deep, deep behind the retina. The soft infant awakens. text by ITOAOI

I directed the video for the world premiere of a concept car developed by Subaru Tecnica International. Because of the nature of a world premiere, it was necessary to avoid clearly revealing the car’s appearance and design, so we focused on making each part look more striking and advanced without showing everything, using narrow, powerful beams of light projected onto the body and parts to capture their shapes in a way that could be felt.

My past self and my present self. When they look at each other, is the other one happy? This is a music video that was filmed after first writing the script, like a film, and then creating the storyboard.

I portrayed love.
