I like works that are not meant to be viewed.
The viewer's "gaze" becomes the atmosphere of the space, and at that moment it becomes the work of art.
These are a poetic work.
When there are no viewers, time stands still in this work.
The overarching theme of these works is “The Relationship of Reading”. Deaf, blind and everyone can take part.

I was born in 1963 in Hiroshima, Japan.
His work was ready in the norm as a sculpture.
When I was a child, I started by creating clay portrait of my classmates, I received a prize for this clay portrait in art competitions, for which I won many awards. And when it came to sculpture, it was the work of Roy Scott. The bronze statues were already historic sculptures.

"Roy Ascott: Form has Behaviour brings together four of his interactive sculptures made in the 1960s – which he termed ‘analogue structures’ alongside his ‘Manifesto for Cybernetic Art’ (1963). The term analogue has its roots in the Greek analogos, meaning proportionate; in its contemporary application, it expresses the ability of a mechanism to physically represent the quantity it measures.

B.O.D.Y. - Piece of Glass (2012/2024)

The curator of this exhibition, Harm Lux, is a Dutch curator who established the first non-profit art project space in Zürich, Switzerland, at the end of the 1980s.
American composer and artist John Cage is also a participant.
Half of the participating artists in this exhibition are internationally active artists from the US, the Netherlands, and Berlin. This is an exhibition of artists who are participating voluntarily, regardless of financial needs.


Harm Lux and the Association are currently working on a catalogue. (February 2025)

Artists participated with their original works. I participated in the concept of non-conceptual art (non-computational, happening, performance, installation).


In the 1990s they (Lily van der Stokker/NL and Hirsch Perlman/USA) were part of the post-John Cage and post-Fluxus generation in Western countries such as the USA, the Netherlands and Berlin, today they are international artists.

We (Lily van der Stocker, Hirisch Perlman and me) attended this exhibition with the edition.

This exhibition consists of works by young Eastern European artists and offers a new exploration of the theme of "Dreaming of... (Egoism)" about capitalism from both sides.


When I was a student at UdK Berlin in the 1990s, my activities were in artist studios in Europe, such as a studio presentation by Yoko Ono and La Monte Young at Yoko Ono's studio in NY in the 1970s. There wasn't an art project space like in Zürich yet.


I started to work as a young professional artist in 2000.
