Project STVCV & BV 17082007~27092007

“Flying Pixels from Flying Man Project”/QTV.AD#

衛星ローカルテレビチャンネルビデオ及びバスビデオプロジェクト、(ダッカ市、クルナ市)

Satellite Local Television Channel video & bus video project), Dhaka and Khulna City/On going project, 2006~

This is an ongoing project (2006~) in Dhaka and Khulna city, telecasting video clips on a local, privately owned satellite television channel (KV) in Khulna City. This station mostly broadcasts mind-numbing Bangladeshi & Indian film & film music.

The goal of this video is to break the monotony of the regular TV-watching experience, changing how the typical sluggish & lethargic TV viewer reacts watching a sequence of random and unexpected moving images. Videos are very short in duration, running from 7 seconds to 35 seconds. These videos are abruptly telecasted in breaks in between the film and/or music.

These series of videos suggest the relationship between people’s mechanic and busy life in every moment. These videos (QTVAD) seem like they are advertising something, yet they do not mention any name of product or brand, nor do they reveal information or any contacts.‘BV Project’ is shown inside the crowed intercity bus service. The concept is how passengers in a rush react watching lively & tranquil videos in exhausted time.


これは、現在行っているプロジェクトで、日本の色々なところで収録したものをバングラデシュ現地のチャンネル(例えば、ダッカ市内及びクルナ市内ローカルチャンネル)でテレビ番組の間に広告として放映され、日本を紹介することを目標としています。これは、非常に短い時間で(7秒から35秒)日本の文化や習慣の面白いところをバングラデシュの皆様に紹介したいと思います。このBVプロジェクトは、日本人の生活スタイルから町などの風景まで重要な情報を皆様に提供したいと考えています。


Ground f_ (magnetic frame)

This video documented from UEFA football match. The football is always inside the monitor frame. However, whenever the players kick off or play the ball, it will never go outside the boundary of the television frame. Concept of this “monitor-frame as boundary video” has a kind of magnetic power as if the ball will stay stuck inside the TV monitor.

"Father; other/ SOS (Serenity Obligatory System)"/ 2007/ installation

installation with vibration and sound/ 2006~07

Media: wood, vacuum cleaner, oil layapa painting, wood, plastic, bandage, glass, Styrofoam, Japanese Manga magazine, toys

Size: main building- w.2500mm x b.1000 x h.600 mm, other objects variable


This is a model of a Court building. A vacuum cleaner hose runs through the top of the dome. The entire body of the building will lightly shake vacuum cleaner is turned on.
This work reflects the state of misuse of rules and law. The vacuum cleaner is used here as a rhetorical activity to be technical. Green ‘layapa’ oil painting is rendered on the half-body of the building. Medical bandage and Japanese fantasy manga magazine is used on the dome to evoke an exotic and chaotic feeling of the reality of high court society.
