"These objects have been peeled away from everyday life, they are memorials or anti- memorials, their function is to break down and analyse the meaning of life. It is a reevaluation of personal history.
"As artworks(miniature sculptures made from body, flesh and skin), they are obtained by stopping. If I don't stop, they will disappear."

"Finding a place for the work: between night and day, between darkness and brightness, between rapture and sobriety, between the sun and the museum (a building erected upon the earth). Between journey and stillness, between labor and leisure. To alter the impression of the dull and monotonous everyday light."

Buntings appear in our daily life, yet we don’t think of them even if we run into them every day. They seem to act on our subtle sensations, generating no ideal, validating no will, not constituting happiness itself, nor producing any happiness.

Nylon buntings

A piece of white card was inserted into the punching machine, and a moment of reality was printed. The moment preserved on the card is a moment we captured when we en-counter the work in this time and space. It operates outside of the time in our excessive economic life, and because it is ordinary, it falls out of our usual range of perception.

This circle distinctly appeared on the wall, and it appeared in the space embracing our bodies. It is no longer a circle as a concept, nor an analog to or a symbol of a circle. It is a circle that can be directly felt in the reality of our senses.
