I pretend my self as a chair, waiting for people to sit on me.
Most of the visitors missed it.
Instead of having “performer performs”, the artist chooses a saddle almost invisible way to create intimacy with the audience while he is mentally far away even being in the same room. “The pocket” of the couch is meant to draw the desire in which the “honest” part of his body has been placed and this part tries to connect out of people, tries to connect to the reality whether it is closed or opened.
a performance which share the same fantasy with the japanese author Edogawa Rampo, by coincidence, or commune human desire.
