The purpose of this project is to examine the conditions of a performance:

what can be a performance and what cannot. 

​

By performing daily activities and behaviors on a stage, such as sneezing, taking off shoes or making tea, we facilitate the study of the contrast between daily life and art. One factor that enables the situation of sound art (a performance) is the unique relationship between the artist and its audience. The sound (or movements) made by the artist on stage is a work of art and thus an objective for the audience to appreciate. When the sounds and movements are caused by everyday actions and behaviors, the audience is placed in a situation where they may appreciate everyday life as a work of art. For example the act and sound of a sneeze. A sneeze is a reflex of nerves to expel a foreign body from one's body, yet the meaning changes depending on the situation, be it on a stage or not. Why is it sound art because it is performed on a stage? Which conditions set up a stage to its current position? By exploring these questions through various hypotheses and experiments from the perspective of sound art, try to pursue the big question of what art and performing really is.

​

As an experiment method, I conduct a series of improvisation performances, where I invite artists from different disciplines to improvise together for a certain time frame (X hours), without any breaks or announcement.

It is to demonstrate that all actions, including instinctive behaviors, executed by the artists within the time X are placed in the context of art and become objects for the audience to appreciate.
