The author must want to shout out, "Everyone has not bought too much!". _ _ _ Shigesato Itoi (band comment) Ken Kagami is a contemporary artist who converts social phenomena, current affairs and culture into jokes. He makes presentations across the media such as sculptures, paintings, drawings, videos and performances. He has been active in a wide range of activities such as the release of collaboration products with various brands and participation in many art exhibitions both in Japan and overseas. This book is a book of the popular series "Contemporary Artist Ken Kagami recently bought" which has been published for two and a half years since 2022 with a focus on what he recently bought. In addition to 29 "bought things", it contains the 30th issue limited to books and a long interview about who Ken Kagami is. Ken Kagami's "Strange Shopping" that unfolds in the "Age when I don't buy anything" shows how the world is interesting. Ken Kagami, a contemporary artist, buys strange things. He always buys things like "Pay money and buy it?". He probably doesn't like the fun of shopping. This shopping is also an art? What drives that shopping? I want people to take their eyes off the strange shopping. Waha is a real joke. I want people to be disgusted with it. I want people to stop around the "kind of truth" that is included in Ms. Kagami's words momentarily.
