Year: 2000
Media: VHSvideo (6min)
When I meet a person for the first time, I have an impression as a visual image such as “Tail of a Tortoise”, “Tea Stalk Not Floating Upright in the Tea”, “White Elephant on Duty” ,and “Yesterday’s Miso Soup”. I usually keep the image to myself and call him or her by it in my mind. In this project one hundred people joined and I made movies using the visual images. I told people who I met first time about the visual images and asked them to say these images at the camera. And I added the movie of the visual images; For example, if I had an impression of “Tail of a Tortoise” for someone, a photo of tail of a tortoise appeared after he spoke to the camera. I made one thousand patterns of slide shows.
