  • CV | Satsuki Imai website

    今井さつきの経歴等を記載しています。 Satsuki's biography CV photo: Tatsuhiko Nakagawa Satsuki Imai I’m making artworks and creating a space that I co-create with the viewer under the themes of playground, co-creation, and 'communication'. Then it uses the forms and techniques of communication and participatory artwork. The background of my own work is largely related to video games. I have been familiar with video games since I was a child, and from my own experiences, I thought that games and play helped me grow and connected me to other people, and I dreamed of becoming a video game creator. While studying at a specialized university to become a video game creator, I came across contemporary art and felt a similarity and affinity with video games in that art "allows you to think and experience things at a distance from your own place and consciousness", and became interested in doing so in a public space. I began making artworks by incorporating elements I had learned from games, such as 'allowing the player to become the protagonist', 'creating an experience in which the player feels he or she can change the future through participation, and 'connecting people to people'. In my own work, 'Raybox', I aimed to create a vision that only visitors could create using their own daily lives as material by creating a device that creates a kaleidoscope from the viewer's belongings. In 'Beginning Your Heart, by creating a space in which flowers made by the viewers gradually change the landscape of a rock cave made of inorganic materials, the artist attempted to present the possibility of changing the landscape into a beautiful one through the involvement of people. In 'Human Sushi', the viewers themselves became the ingredients of a giant nori maki (seaweed roll) and, while being rolled, collaborated with the artist in making their own nori maki, aiming for a creative activity with a new physical sensation. Each work is produced and presented in a style in which the viewer becomes the protagonist of the work and creates it as if playing along with the creator. It is like I have created a 'playground' where I connect with others, the viewers, through the medium of my work and invite them to join me. I put the feeling of "I want to be friends with you" into my work and welcome the viewers with nervousness myself. The unexpected communication with the viewer, which is always different and which is created by the viewer's involvement and by the fact that everything transforms me, the artist, into a new self, And through this exchange, the 'objects' I have created—the apparatus, the inorganic cave, and the seaweed roll—are sublimated into 'works of art, such as the one and only kaleidoscope's vision, the blooming flower landscape, and the Human Sushi. This experiment in art is a playground with no correct answers, where both the artist and the viewer realize firsthand that in this age of increasing division and prejudice, it is possible to create new experiences, new selves, new thoughts, and new worlds through mutual relations with others outside oneself. I also believe that this can be attempted through art, which allows us to think about, orient towards, and experiment with human richness, sensitivity, individuality, and the meaning of life.

    about To make is to pray Making is Praying Production year: 2020- Format: Installation Size: variable Material: cloth, wood, string, thread A participatory art work. I, who am the artist and participant, make a face mask together while listening to the viewer's story of "a person who wants to pray for their health" and praying for their health. This work was created based on the artist's own experience. Around February 2020, when COVID-19 was gradually spreading, I came up with the idea of making something by printing it while looking at the photographs I had taken with people from various countries. At that time, I sewed the face mask I wore as a talisman when I went out and started praying for the health of the people in the photo, and I shared it in the form of a work. Ask the viewer to select two photos of a person who wants to pray for health in the current situation, and send them to the writer's PC. Then, print the photo selected on the spot on a cloth and ask them to cut it while talking about their memories and future stories. I prayed for the health of the person for whom the viewer wanted to pray while sewing the cloth on which the cut photo is printed, and when the face mask was made, I gave it to the viewer.

  • Hitotsutsumi | Satsuki Imai website

    「ひと包み」についての作品説明です。 about "Hitotsutsumi" Hitotsutsumi Production year: 2020- Format: Installation Size: variable Material: cloth, wood, string, thread "Hitotsutsumi" is participatory artwork in which visitors who come to a kimono accessory shop are wrapped in huge furoshiki (Japanese wrapping cloth) by an artist who impersonates the store's proprietress. Visitors meet the artist, and she says that "this is a place where visitors are wrapped in furoshiki while communicating.". Visitors who want to participate choose two of their favorite patterns from the large furoshiki and lay them out in the space. Then he/she/they go up on the tatami mats, unfold the two furoshiki together with the artist, and join the two furoshiki by tying them together with their hands. The participants then sit on the furoshiki, which are three meters square in length and width, and assume the position in which they want to be wrapped. The position can be sitting, standing, or lying down. The artist, who is the proprietress of the space, wraps the viewer according to the viewer's position, physique, and conversation, following the basic tying method of the furoshiki. In this process, communication between the artist and the viewer takes place through the furoshiki. Through this collaboration and exchange, a simple furoshiki is transformed into a work of art called "Hitotsutsumi". When the wrapping is finished, the artist takes a picture of the wrapping, prints it out on iron-printed paper, and gives it to the viewer, who cuts it with scissors, attaches it to the noren, and names the wrapping. As the number of participants increases, the number of wrappings made by the viewers increases, and each wrapping becomes a symbol of the communication between the viewer and the artist. Each wrapping is a one-of-a-kind creation that is the result of communication between the viewer and the artist. Three elements in the art work Object. The object of this work is the furoshiki. By creating with the artist a worldview of a kimono accessory shop lined with large furoshiki, he creates a space that is detached from everyday life, a space that viewers themselves can experience with peace of mind. The artist and the viewer create a space that is detached from everyday life, a space in which the viewer can experience and feel at ease. Furoshiki and cloth are familiar objects, but by using a size beyond the usual furoshiki, it is possible to create a space in which the viewer can experience and feel at ease. The use of furoshiki, or clothes, in sizes beyond the usual brings a surprise to the viewer, who sees the furoshiki wrap itself around the object. However, because the action itself is a familiar one of wrapping and being wrapped, the process of experiencing the cloth itself is easy to imagine, creating a sense of security. The "presence of being wrapped" by the viewer and the "presence of wrapping" by the creator compensate for the lack of a "presence of being wrapped" when wrapping something with a furoshiki, and the interaction generated by the communication between the two creates a sense of comfort in the furoshiki. The interaction that results from the communication between the two transforms the furoshiki into a work of art that is not merely an object but a "Hitotsutsumi" that combines the communication between the two and the furoshiki wrapping that is co-created by the two. The communication between the two and the co-created furoshiki wrapping transforms the furoshiki into a work of art. The Viewer The viewer of this work is the one who is wrapped in the furoshiki. They experience the work together with the artist, transforming the mere furoshiki into a work of art called "Hitotsutsumi" (one package). The viewer has the right to choose the pattern of the furoshiki in the space of the work and the position in which he or she is wrapped. This reduces the gap in experience between the artist and the viewer and creates a new and unique experience for the artist as well. After being wrapped, the viewer has an opportunity for reflection and output by naming his or her own wrapping from the experience of being wrapped, and the opportunity for reflection and objectivity gained in the process creates an opportunity to shift the experience into an experience. Artist The author of this work is the proprietress of a kimono accessory shop. As the proprietress, the artist creates the worldview of the work space with the object furoshiki and coordinates the experience. Through the experience together with the viewers, the artist transforms the furoshiki object into a work of art called "Hitotsutsumi" (one package). The artist cannot control the entire experience depending on the viewer's choice of furoshiki, body shape, or position. The artist gives the viewer the right to choose the pattern of the furoshiki and the position of his or her body, and the viewer himself or herself is the one who is challenged by the experience.

  • Raybox | Satsuki Imai website

    Rayboxの作品説明です。 The information of "Raybox" Raybox Year of production: 2011- Format: Installation Size: W240 x H240 x D240mm Material: wood, mirror, MDF board A viewer-participation-type work where you can see the kaleidoscope when you put your belongings inside the work and look into it. Viewers put their watches, glasses, and other belongings in black, white, and transparent-looking box drawers. And when I look through the upper peephole, the belongings in the drawer are transformed into a kaleidoscope. Not all belongings are unique, but the combination of belongings is a part of each viewer, and we try to use it to create a figure that only that person can make. By arranging the inside of the drawer and turning the handle attached to the work, a figure that can only be seen in that moment and that is constantly changing appears every moment. Its beauty seems to praise the viewer themselves. This work was made when the writer was still studying at university with the aim of becoming a game creator. He came across contemporary art when he began to question the commercial games he produced over the years. However, because I didn't understand contemporary art well at that time, I didn't have much to touch, unlike toys and games, and I felt like someone else's affairs. If I make a work, I thought it would be good if I could think of it as my own. This work gave birth to the future writer's life. ・ January 2013 ...

  • The beginning from ground | Satsuki Imai website

    はじまりのだいちについての作品説明です。 about The beginning from ground Beginning your ground Production year: 2017- Format: Installation Size: φ4000 × H2500 (mm) Material: Wood, Styrofoam, Artificial turf, Flower paper A participatory art work. That imitates a mountain on the outside and a cave on the inside. Participants can go inside the work and experience making flowers while sharing their memories and stories of loved ones with artists and others. The viewer creates each flower by stacking thin papers called flower papers in this space. There are no particular rules on how to make it, and each participant relies on his or her own memory and imagination to make it. In addition, while the artist is resident on the spot, we will make flowers together and listen to the story. The finished flower goes into the cave or the mountain outside, and if participants think it's okay to get out of this cave, they climb the ladder to breathe in the outside air and get out of the cave. With the participation of the participants, the number of flowers in this work will gradually increase, and the work will change. This work was created with the idea that the scenery could be changed by the small actions of people. Approximately 200 people participated in this work. I listened to their memories of making flowers in their childhood and the stories of people who wanted to hand over the flowers. Since there were no rules on how to make flowers, some people moved their hands, responded to the materials, and made them with curiosity. I made space not to set a clear goal, not to set a time limit, and to spend the time until the flowers grew freely. It was as if they were able to think about various things while moving my hands by following one soft theme of "making flowers" while having the comfort and safety of a park. Then, while spending time with appreciation, I came to think that the idea that the viewer thinks about someone making a flower and wants to deliver it to someone is art. ・ February 26-March 3, 2017 ...

W3000 × H450 × D2000 (mm) Material: Cloth, cotton, urethane foam, polyerylene sheet 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.
