This was created as a music video for “swanna,” a track from musician VOQ’s first album, YONA, released by PROGRESSIVES FOrM in April 2018. While it is a music video, it is also a “painting of time” that repeatedly depicts similar images, intended as a visual expression by a painter who wants to see the nonlocality of where images reside. This work is also the drawing animation piece My Name Is Nobody (2011), created for the art project “TERATOTERA Festival 2011: Video,” which connects people with people and cities with cities through art in the areas along the Chuo Line. It was screened at the Kichijoji BAUS Theater together with an early version of VOQ’s same track “swanna.”

A video work by the exhibition directors of 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT’s special exhibition “What is a Rule?” that explores the roles and value of rules from multiple perspectives. The rules we usually take for granted and follow almost unconsciously may not be the same for someone else. This educational video takes a multi-angle look at the customs and patterns of behavior shared by various communities, from schools and companies to society as a whole, and reveals the surprisingly flexible and changeable nature of rules, which at first glance may seem absolute.
