Junichiro ISHII

By placing myself in unfamiliar environments, such as foreign counties with different cultures or histories, or fields of knowledge that are unknown to me, my work is initiated by a very personal speculation, or an idea that is complementary with the lack of information that comes during a process of adaptation.
I trust that the most banal, routine and seemingly meaningless practices of everyday life contain the integral essence of the culture. I focus on daily feelings when I am in an impalpable situation, and attempt to generate an intentional ‘oddity’ by an intuitive process of reconstruction.
The work mainly takes the form of installation, but not the installation of works already completed in the studio. By adding minimum transformation to the (most usual) peculiarity, I am seeking to shift an unconscious image into a concrete vision. To precisely pursue pure impressions of the subject, I do not begin with a predetermined method and my works do not exhibit obvious connections in terms of materials or completed forms, but by taking into account conditions on the ground I seek to represent my very personal impressions as simply as possible. It is similar to an unusual interpretation of a usual sensation, somewhat like a cultural sketch.
My works are temporary interventions, with video used not solely to archive/record the work, but to produce independent works that show the concepts from a different perspective.
