Osamu Shikichi

Statement

I would like to invite the audience to the specific time and space to look our body, which I treat as our own, as something temporarily unfamiliar, weird and a bit new. It could be a poetic transformation of the images sticking to the human body which we treat as something special. Recently, I am working on how to make the bodies anonymous and share and hack with other people like royalty free materials. Also this process has been inspired by visualization ASMR with body movements and some concepts of “unisex”.

GlogauAIR Project

Remembering the shared physical memories of choreographic movements evoking weird sensations as Vaccination, we do hacking and transplanting each other’s body parts. Through this process, we share own human body accounts with others and subscribe together. Then we recycle the parts of the body that have become free materials left out of our consciousness at the same time. In these series of practice, I will research the idea of “unisex” in human body by wearing other people’s body and wearing singular time.

Dance, Perfomance, and Sculpture

CV Summary

While it is impossible to see oneself objectively from the outside, Shikichi tries to capture the reality of oneself through another human being that is composed of the closest materials. Shikichi is interested in identifying and blurring the boundaries of the human body in the process. Born in Japan and started making performances while doing sculpture and mixed media. And as the performance shifted more to focus on physical movements and body qualities, they began working on dance and more performing arts fields.
