Gazing at something! This performance is executed in a static posture over such a prolonged period of time that the observer is unlikely to notice any change of movement at all, or is enacted with movements of various stares as if searching for an unfamiliar subject, and then takes the movements to share the same stare with the subject that is to be looked on. 

Through such series, the artist sometimes looks fixedly at something while adopting static postures, or wanders around here and there, or sometimes imitates the movements of the subject. Artists who base their creations on the concept of ‘gazing’ gradually expand their own emotions to a horizon that goes beyond actions. Then, in the midst of such creative performances, the artists’ first movement starts and melts into art in its entirety.
