Author's comment

The basis of my work is to consider the act of ``watching a movie,'' which is a combination of complex information, and to deconstruct and reconstruct it.

Judge's review

“I” is no longer “me” and “me” is no longer “me”. ``Misalignment'' is the key point of art, which brings out ``existence.'' Reaching the universal through “nearby things”. No matter where you go, it's a foreign country and a stranger, but I thought it would be a good idea for you to go on a journey in Asia or Japan in search of ``displacement'' and ``absence.'' Now, let's drift into media art. (Shigeo Goto)
