[Introduction to the Contents]
Making full use of the "sewing machine", which is the symbol of the machine that has deprived the pleasure of hand-work
The "contradiction" that human beings unfold in "eternity" is embroidered on the breast of the viewer.
Satoru Aoyama (1973?) uses the "sewing machine" with multiple languages such as the symbol of the Industrial Revolution, the loss of hand-work, and the view of gender. He expresses various problems and contradictions in the world in his works overflowing with satire and humor.
The origin of his creation is the Textile Art Department at Goldsmith College in London. In an environment where 90% of students are women, he came into contact with art and labor issues and feminism in the background of textiles.
In today, where AI is trying to replace people and the rise of technology is remarkable, the world of Aoyama will convey a deep but quiet suggestion to the audience.
This book is the first collection of about 150 works carefully selected from 20 years of production activities from the initial stage to the latest work, with commentaries by the artist.
