TOKYOモンスター TOKYO MONSTER

2014

いつの時代でも、なぜ人は自分の容姿を飾りたがるのでしょう。90年代のファッション誌のスナップ写真をモチーフ(その頃、作家本人も読者モデルをしていた)として、東京を彷徨う若者たちの心の中にあるコンプレックスや虚栄心の表れを「モンスター」になぞらえて表現します。

People have always wanted to adorn themselves to change their appearance. To investigate why, the artist adopted as motifs street snaps from a fashion magazine of the 1990s, a time when she herself appeared as such an amateur model. Manifesting the complexes and vanities in the hearts and minds of the young people on the Tokyo streets, she likens them to monsters.
