Author's comment
It's better to talk about serious things while laughing. It's meaningless if it's not interesting.
Judge's review
Bulletin boards with election posters are familiar to see on street corners. Hika has successfully transformed this decaying wooden board, which was said to have been on campus, into a found object decorated with sparkling sequins. By decorating the bulletin board, which is one of the tools built into the election system, with tools of Hikka's desires, there is also a hidden spirit of humor towards Japan's modern society. (Yuka Uematsu)
By adding ``feminine'' decorations such as glitter and sequins or commentary intervention to ``masculine'' social subjects such as politics and economics, she attempts to lightly deconstruct the context and value of the subject. There is. The reality of being a young Japanese female artist, which is the opposite of Dan Ho's style of criticism where she creates everyday objects with gold, is manifested in her restrained use of kitsch. (Yuko Hasegawa)
