After the serious virus outbreak, we've been trying to create the New Normal with the help of technologies.
Our communications are now transforming into the remote ,online stuffs or maybe a kind of hybrid.
Now it's time to reflect on the physical communication, its sensibilities we perceive and discuss on our new lifestyles, the temporary situations, issues or a new aspect we've been experiencing under the Pandemic.
This time, we will welcome such active creatives from different art sectors in Japan like Buddhism, Butoh&Performing Arts ,Contemporary Art&Tech, and will share what they are facing and have been creating until now.
We will also talk about the physicality from different perspectives of the speakers.
Please share yours also as we will discuss altogether in the latter half of the session with the participating creators(Hong Kong,Singapore,Indonesia,Ukraine,Nigeria,Australia,Japan) of our experimental remote residency "Creativity from HOME"!(Please make a reservation for the zoom link!)
*Reserve for discussion(on Zoom): https://co-iki-talk-session.peatix.com/
We look forward to talking and sharing time of reflection with you soon!

I am a Japanese Zen monk and contemporary artist. Born in 1979.
My reason for paralleling monk and artist is to discover the common challenges and values of art and religion and to re-present the interplay between them.
The focus of my theme is “A methodology for gathering and enhancing the faith contained in religious institution.” and “The foundation of faith internalized in customs and culture.” and the physicality that is deeply related to both of these contents.
In order to derive the uniqueness of art in Asia, his installations and art projects highlight the “history of nations and peoples” and the “spirituality behind the expression”.

Because I was brought up in a household with both parents who had attended art school, aesthetics have always been a very large part of my life. Art-making for me has always come with certain high expectations, and that perfectionistic tendency shaped much of my earlier works. When I was a teenager in Singapore, being in the art industry is not generally encouraged, as our education system encourages us to excel in the science and technology sectors. Therefore my interest in the arts have always made me feel somewhat of an outcast, but it also allows me to observe the patterns of our society as an outsider. My habits of quiet observation is a large part of how I get inspired for art-making, and I try to create art about issues that gives a voice to the outcast and ignored members of our society.
Q2:How come you create this project and how the pandemic changed the way of your creation(if not,is there anything that has affected your creative practice/ideas)
During the pandemic, I realized how the crucial role of the homemakers is often underrated and overlooked, but as quarantine forces most of us to stay indoors, their role has been put in the spotlight. Many of my homemaker friends are struggling to juggle childcare, household chores, as well as their own career responsibilities during this period. Their stories and narratives a homemakers is what I would like to bring to light in this work, as the homemaker’s perspective of their roles and responsibilities is very seldom told to the public.This pandemic has also made me very grateful to my mother, who is the homemaker of my household. With her help and support I was able to continue creating art throughout the quarantine period. It made me reflect on the importance of these private moments of support and how they enable us to fulfill our public expectations.
Q3:Who inspired you the most? What art/artwork has changed your life?
質問３：自身に影響を与えた人は誰ですか？また、人生を変えたアートやアート作品は何ですか？
Color had always been a huge part of my art process, and Mark Rothko had always been my inspiration, as I often use colors to evoke certain emotions and memories from my work. SPREAD artists Hirokazu Kobayashi and Haruna Yamada also inspired much of my current aesthetics, and opened the possibility of further abstraction for me.
