»telepathy«

2009, video installation, HD video, 11:36 min., 10 drawing sets, 21 x 29 cm (each)

In this piece, Yamashita and Kobayashi, having lived and worked together for 17 years, attempt to communicate without words.
Out of 1000 attempts at telepathic exchange, mostly failures, they miraculously (or perhaps coincidentally) succeeded ten times. A video of those ten instances was displayed alongside the drawings created during the project.
出会って１７年同じ時を過ごし、制作も共にして来た二人が、個の壁を越えて言葉抜きの対話を試みる。
交互に1000回テレパシー交換を行い、無数の失敗のうち奇跡的(偶発的)に当たった10回のみを繋いだヴィデオをそのドローイングと共に展示。
