Statement
A functional fixedness is a tendency to think about usages of something
only in limited point of view when we see them. In other words, we usually
tend to perceive the functions or usages as we've thought before.
Dishes or tools we use in a daily life are put on the place which we think
is appropriate because we regard them as the purpose of what we've thought
before. Plates and cups on tables and cushions on sofas. They stick together.
What I would like to mean through my works is to express psychological
shock caused by awkward situation on the surface and functional transition
that original views changes into new ones
Many people
are not interested in or do not care about what they are doing, while
putting food on plates and eating them. It is just usual thing. However,
I like to watch the process that plates are getting empty, and take pictures
of the moment because all the moments can be memorized such as spoons,
forks and knives not in low, and cups and plates in an untidy way. I wanted
to express the moment of meal time in three dimensions, like pictures
in a frame in an art gallery. Through this opportunity, I hope that people
perceive the process in a special way for a while.
If guests
visiting restaurants find tableware being in frames there, it will be
a good chance for them to think about them in a different way. They will
feel unusual but exited through different views about something we take
for granted.
