»Unfortunately, impossible«

2007, HD video, 09:18 min.

The idea of the work was born from a lot of unwelcome news saying "Unfortunately…" or "We are afraid to inform you that..." things like that, which was sent as results of artists' survival activities. In the video, their least favourite English words written on wall with pencil appear continuously.
Their two arms struggle to rub out part of the words (un, less, im etc.) with erasers, in order to change the meaning a little better.
アーティストのサバイバル活動において受け取る、"Unfortunately..."や、"We are afraid to inform you that..."といった言葉から始まる嫌な知らせから生まれた作品。
壁に鉛筆で描かれた、２人の嫌いな英語の言葉が次々と画面に浮かび上がる。２人の腕は、その言葉の意味を少しでもポジティブにしようと、その語の接頭辞・接尾辞をもがくように消しゴムで消してゆく。
