Fix/Motion (2009-)

I have been recording a score of Grand SUMO Tournament of MAKUSHITA division.
The symbols that win and lose are marked as white circles and black circles.
Also, I have been recording their motions, bouts process, and marking the winning technique.
The results, and process of the motions are fixed through my viewpoints, in my format.
The bouts, the motions would represent again and again in the fixed realm.

Expression' is fundamentally for passing on a personal message. It is an artificial event in everyday life, against neutral days. In order to make people recognize the 'expression' that needs stability. It is not only physically but also conceptually, otherwise, it would be categorized a natural phenomena.
The meaning (the concept) needs to be replayed again and again for people (audience).

In order to make people recognize the 'expression', which is ultimately aimed at people, it takes a long period of time.

The 'expression' that I would like to categorize in this context, is 'disobey'.

As if the 'expression' suggests a virtual domain or a real site, as if the 'expression' wants to be an invisible layer, it needs a frame as an analogy of 'space'. The 'frame' is a thread of thinking, it means the way of recognition, the system of thinking of human beings.

In short, the expression has to be FIXED on the real world; it should stay with us. This context's of FIX contains also fixing on the any media, not only real space, but also digital media, etc.
I have been thinking about the way of FIX, the system of fixing fundamentally. What I made was a series of style for fundamental construction for Fixing.

I found that the BODY of the 'expression' has to have holes physically or analogically in it. The 'expression' itself should contain or become a tool of putting or connecting the space.
The holes are used as a function to tie up other parts. But tied up, the 'expression' becomes a part of the space, part of the background of the 'expression'.
