“Hanetsuki is a Japanese traditional game, similar to badminton without a net, played with a rectangular wooden paddle called a hagoita and a brightly coloured shuttlecock. Often played by girls at the New Year, the game can be played in two fashions: by one person attempting to keep the shuttlecock aloft as long as possible, or by two people batting it back and forth. Girls who fail to hit the shuttlecock get marked on the face with India Ink. Traditionally, the longer the shuttlecock remains in the air, the greater protection from mosquitoes the players will receive during the coming year”.
I was thinking about the image of space travel that I had in my mind. This image is always black and white and has some nuances of greenish yellow. The outer space unfolds as a giant body in shades of black. I thought about the difference between atmospheric black and velvet black, hysterical white and cozy white. The darker, the deeper, the warmer.

Ghost floor starts with this idea: spots on the ground lifted from the moon. The ground is activated as space. Space becomes a kimono landscape - a sfi-fi kimono.

This work is entitled "Frau Frau walking the cow". It is a set of cut out paper and xerox, hand made imagery and founded imagery gravitating around one single image that I've found - a Mycenaean fresco picturing two women boxing.

The loop of ideas and symbols is the following: Mycenaean fresco, Greek Mythology and the symbol of the bull: Europa and the bull (or Zeus transformed into a tamed bull).

Bull, Cow, the idea of nutrition (nurture) and brutal force (nature) intertwined. The Cow or the bull, according to greek mythology has a direct correspondence to the moon. (Both are vital elements to agriculture, both are archetypical symbols of femininity).
The act of preserving, giving birth and killing (the three cycles of nature): depicted both in Ancient Greek (Relationship between Zeus, Apollo and most importantly Dionysus) and Hindu texts (Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva). The idea of celebration according to the Maenads (implying mystery, cruelty and euphoria, feminine and masculine extremes dissolving into one another).

Voyage dans la lune by Melies; Frau im Mond by Fritz Lang (Black and white films)
The phases of the moon (regulating night shadow and night light). (Tracing paper circles suspended on metal arrows with magnets: the drawing repeats the wall cut out circles).

“Hentai (?? or ?????) is a word of Japanese origin which is short for (?????, hentai seiyoku); a perverse sexual desire. The original meaning of Hentai in Japanese Language is a transformation or a metamorphosis. A meaning of the perversion or the paraphilia was derived from there.
Internationally, hentai is a catch-all term to describe a genre of anime and manga pornography”.
Confusion is Sex (Sonic Youth).
Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (Pier Paolo Pasolini) and Funeral Parade of Roses (Toshio Matsumoto), these two films bended in my mind.
I remember thinking of pattern and repetition as rest. Everything else twists as a means to clarify its’ position in the game (the drawing). What if confusion is accuracy? The lines must be fluid, the lines must be disrupted. Eroticized landscape. Human figures and their surroundings put together in a grinder machine.

This piece is called “Monkey’s raincoat”, the title of a book The Monkey's Straw Raincoat and Other Poetry of the Bash? School
Piecing things together: that’s the issue. How these pieces communicate with each other. How does the relationship between the hole and the parts unfolds? As in an Haiku, each stanza echoes and resonates the previous.
The theory of fluids: blood flow system and the blow of the wind, circling of the water correspond to each other. The way Hokusai draws a line knowing no boundaries. The resilience of the line: water, air and blood, these elements know their own path.

This set and arrangement of different objects comes from Hokusai's biography.
