Social Gravity
What is "Social Gravity?"
The artwork consists of two pieces. It is a contemporary art form that uses visuals and sounds inspired by cave paintings to express the state of contemporary society.
Cave paintings are said to be the oldest works of art known to mankind. Inspired by the fact that they were painted for various purposes and were also used as records. For my first work as an artist living in the present day, I created a work that "records" the contemporary society as I feel it is today. Humans have created a 'Society' on top of the natural world, which has allowed them to develop civilisation and maintain their current standard of living. However, as a price to pay for this, "Social Gravity" that does not exist in the natural world has fallen on people. From the moment a person wakes up to the moment they go to bed in a place where there are human relationships, they have to continue to be subjected to this gravity. There are people in this world cannot withstand this gravity and have collapsed.
