Description

Iimura enunciates six vowels from Japanese kana in front of a camera while a real-time 3D video mapping deforms the screen-image of his face. The enunciated sound does not necessarily coincide with the movement of his mouth. Resembling Noh masks, the grotesque shapes of the six deformed faces captivate the viewer. Text in Japanese and English. There are two versions of this work: one is 2:30 minutes; the other is 7 minutes. Premiered as a video installation/performance in 1993 at Kirin Plaza Osaka.

飯村はカメラの前で日本語の仮名からとった6つの母音を発声すると同時に、リアルタイムの3Dビデオ・マッピングを使い彼の顔のスクリーンイメージを変形させた。この母音は必ずしも彼の口の動きと一致しない。奇妙に変形させた六面相が能面に似ていると共に観客に魅力的な影響を与える。
