A participatory art work in which artists who portray sushi chefs roll up participants. The participant chooses some of the sushi toppings (tuna, egg, starch, dried gourd) that are wrapped with him/her/them, holds them, and lies down on a huge rice mat. Then, the artist rolled up the participant in front of the viewer and made a huge "Human Sushi" together. After the roll is rolled, the photograph taken and printed on the spot is pasted on the wooden board that becomes the menu table. Then, the experiencer himself writes a menu such as "~ roll", completes the menu table, and displays it in the exhibition hall.
It is a work that you can enjoy as an experience-based performance, such as "rolling in public" and "becoming food", that you do not usually do. Also, for myself, not only to experience it to become part of its work product on the menu table but also to form a communication between the experienced people.
This work not only sees the work but also participates, and the viewer becomes a work, so that the viewer and the work, the viewer and the author, and the relationship between the viewers can be changed happily, and it is fun with everyday things. Created using the topic of seaweed rolls and cooking in an attempt to amplify the sardines. Currently, a total of about 2,500 people are experiencing it in Japan, South Korea, and France.
