If the language is an index of the human mind, the house is the place for our body can stay. I make an installation it looks like a part of architecture and performs with wearable sculpture in terms of a form of clothes. Elements of house, windows, walls and doors etc., are made from fabric and it can easily reversible through the inside and the outside. So performer can wear them as clothes. I focus on a tactile space and my artwork space extends a field of human sense. My installation is not shown flexible and liberal space and but also some obstacle space in terms of it restricts human acting. Through the performance, I depict some image of unstableness and a little change of daily life. And also I attempt to refresh the meaning of the circles of relations humorously which is described as female > house > inside > restriction or oppression by using the house that have deep relations with the role of the women in the viewpoint of social and culture. The comical behaviors induced by the act of putting on and off the installations are caused by the physical restrictions and the act is more hilarious as the body looks uncomfortable and unnatural. So the vivid and perfect art works are completed after these direct interactions of the works and performance exists.
