Since anxiety caused competition. - Meaning of pattern what I made in this modern age.

'To have a better and happy life.' is a answer of my question 'why are we all in competition?'. Lots of history show that human have done wars with various obligation of warfare and various purpose. And also some wars are still on going now.


'Anxiety about lacking of surplus possession' is a reason why we are starting competition. And this pattern what I insert picture above is one of the symbol of that anxiety, but I think this pattern is not symbol of anxiety anymore in this modern age. I'm not sure what this pattern has been changed in this modern society. I just reckoned that it's bit more like a desire to be better. It's really visual image that I can not really explain even my own first language.
This anxiety about lacking of surplus possession caused war to take other one's surplus possession. However I think that we are doing that for protect our surplus possessions. this is not only about war. Just so many ideas come to my mind, which I'm not sure about it.

I'm just sure about 'Anxiety about lacking of surplus possession' is origin why we all start to be in competition. And 'To be better and to have a happy life.' which mean development of humanity is reason why we are in competition. Therefore, this 'competition' mean that all kind of social happen in the world, which is dividing countries, working in companies what we all usually do to earn money.

So that concept of pattern what I designed with Anxiety has been changed in this modern age. That is much more clever than before, and I think it's really close to us. That is what I want to find.

Anxiety.


This is what I designed to express an anxiety. I was focus on 'An anxiety about lacking of surplus possession.' after researching prehistoric stuff. I was thinking that an anxiety about lacking of surplus possession caused competition what all we are doing. Since we have a possession, we start to have an anxiety about it's possible to lose. And starting to lose surplus stuffs and lacking of surplus stuffs is the most anxious time to do something can be bad to relieve anxiety.
This small answer is what I found for my question 'Why are we all in competition?'. The anxiety in my research was the most interesting thing, and it's inspired me a lot to make works.


Making a work with this key word is still on going now. I have just made one film with the shape what  I put on top. The title of this film is 'An anxiety.', I was just trying to express being anxious. I hope this simply composition of screen is helpful to express this simply idea which is just about an anxiety.
My researching is still on going now, I'm trying to develop my idea with competition of modern society. I believe that my meaningless study of advertisement could be useful for this research.

The best winner of winners. - Exit through the gift shop.


This is film is the most interesting video I have ever watched. I have watched this movie 4 times including few mins ago. Every time I have watched this film with my new questions, and this film show me different hint for my new questions. Street art, advertisement and art were the most interesting source of my questions in this research. And I think that I'm just curious about relation between money and art. I think that art can't avoid from commercial world. Art is already part of commerce, but I believe that artist can avoid from commercial even art works are on commercial world.


Director of this film is Banksy who is mysterious street artist. (One putative picture of unmasked banksy have been revealed few months ago.) Anyway, Banksy mentioned that Street are up for auctions is crazy, and he think that is not street artist want to do.


Funny french guy, Thierry Guetta is the main character of this film. He used to be shop owner of vintage clothes shop. He just bought huge box of vintage clothes and pick up some clothes to sell, and when some clothes have different line of sawing, he just called it designer clothes to sell more expensive way. Which is show that he is person who is good at business.


Anyway this film just talking about how vintage shop owner become an artist. He is addicted to film every moment of his life due to he lost her mum died when he was young. After his mum died when he was just in school and nobody tell him anything about it, he just start to flim everything. He flim almost all of his life, but he never watch video what he filmed again.


Street artist, Space invader who is relation of Thierry Guetta is a reason why Thierry Guetta start to film street artists. He just start filming after holiday in paris, He have filmed Shepard Fairy and lots of street artists, and just tell them he will make documentary when artists ask him 'why are you filming it?'. Banksy was one of that artist, and Banksy ask him to make a film to show what is street art to people. Thierry guetta made a film. Six months later Thierry Guetta went to banksy to show, bt it was just messy and totally crazy. So Banksy just tell him to leave types what he filmed, and tell him 'how about trying new things? like art?'


That one sentence was the start of everything. Thierry Guetta just start street art with nickname 'Brainwash.'. He just think all street is just show people again and again repeatedly. Which is just like a brainwash.
After that, It's just simple story with Thierry Guetta' nice business and gift for art. He just get lots of art employee to do his project and borrow huge space to have the first exhibition. And asking Banksy to give him some writing to publicize. Mass media was interested in his story including Banksy writing. He just successfully finished his first exhibition. And Banksy said he will not recommend other people to try art like that anymore in the film.


When I watched this film first time, I was just enjoyed street art and watching Banksy. And the second was just focus on Thierry Guetta is artist or not. And I was starting to focus on a relation between money and art from third time.
I'm bit sure about everyone can be artist when they just call them artist and the public accept that. I think public judgement is the most important thing to be artist. It might be only for me, cuz I wanna talk with people.
And the relation between money and art are the question what I could not really find any answer. However I found one hint of answer from this film again. Money and art, the hint was the title of this film. Something made by human could be all relate to commerce. Maybe the real winner is person who have gift shop near exit. And maybe common winners are just persons who are good at making something to make stocks for gift shop.

Project : Place



My pathway in spring term of CCW foundation was 'Drawing' which is one of Fine art pathways. 'Project : place' was the first project which also my first fine art project officially. I needed to choose one place to do my project, and I just choose my room to do this project.


I just frame a concept that my room is the world before start taking pictures of my room. And then, I just linked all pictures I took first. There were lots of twist shape between all pictures. This project was starting with that twist shapes. 

[Sculpture] The Value what we don't have. 

I was interested in door first. A door of my room was the only way can go out from my room which is the world in my concept. I was focus on value of outside of the world, and I was thinking why are we all compete in this small world. I was just focus on thinking about value what we don't have in our world. 
However I realized that there is a reason why we have to compete in this world what I thought that it's really small. The reason what I realized is that the earth is small. For example, the diamond which is the most valuable jewel is beautiful and small. People want to have it, but it's difficult to be found. Insufficiency caused diamond have a increase in value. Short supply of things what people want is the most strong reason to be a valuable thing. This example is bit different from my opinion, but the earth is a only place where human only can live in the space where human have observed.



 I was totally in confusion when I realized that the earth is also valuable and the earth could be more valuable than the space. I couldn't really sure about what it's more valuable. And I was bit blaming myself for I didn't realized that our world is beautiful one. That is why I made this helmet which don't have any eyes point. Just can't see anything when you wear it. This was one way to blame myself.


Art Film - 'The world where we live.' is the film I made to express me and people who could not realized that our world is so much valuable. One man just wake up when film start. And he realized that he is wearing hat and trying to take off, but he can't take off. After he try to take off few times, he just give up on it. And just go back to the world where he live and living with hat. And falling a sleep after finishing his day. He just take off and scratch his head before naturally take a hat again. I aim to talk to people about 'maybe we don't even try to take off hat to realize our world.'

[Sculputure] The Value what we have.

This huge object, I was try to talk about value where we live. trying to symbolize flower to express our world is beautiful and valuable. This is huge object which is 150cm x 70cm. Yellow and purple are dividing into two parts. Purple part was based on round shape express nature and yellow was based on sharp shape to express human made. There is a really clear straight border line on map of africa. It drawn by imperialist nations. They just ignore all of nature border line what other countries usually do. That was inspired me to make a shape of yellow part. purple was just expressing natural stuff in the world.

I could feel that I was bit trying to be attractive to get off from Univ BA course. That is why It seem to be bit showing off. The most sad thing is that I needed to take our everything due to storage place. Anyway this is the my first formal project. Project : Place. Dohny.
