Explanation: In animation production, there is a technique called “obake.” In 2000s digital animation and limited animation, it was common to create lively motion with fewer drawings, and this technique was widely used. In animation that draws people through empathy with their emotions, the moment an obake—a residual image effect—is depicted does not preserve the shape of the human body. I was intrigued by the fact that, even though it is a technique for making things feel alive, it is called “obake,” and I made this work based on that idea. In the video work in the foreground, the story follows characters A and B as they go to catch a ghost-like obake, but the obake they themselves generate is never consciously recognized by them. The story ends while they remain unaware that they themselves are obake. For the installation of this work, monitors displaying the obake that appear in the piece are arranged. It is a work in which the static obake are captured through screenshots and then installed, much like fish prints. /2021: Exhibited at Sweep-Space-Surface (BankART Station, Yokohama)
