Private Public
Business Overview
This project was held as a solo exhibition by Eri HOIZUMI. The exhibition was a video installation that asked about the way the body should be in the relationship between the gaze of "seeing/being seen". Based on his experience of sexual violence as a minor, he explored the complex relationship between private and public life through the creation and appreciation of sculptures. The exhibition consists of two parts. In the first half of the exhibition, the sculptor Sakyo Machino recorded the process of creating life-size sculptures and filmed the intersection of the positions of the sculptor, the model, and the viewer. In the latter half of the project, he installed the completed work in a pocket park in Hyakunin-cho, Shinjuku Ward, and looked at the existence of the body in a vague public space where the memory and history of the city overlap. The venue was "callbox," a small gallery in the same area, and in an environment where the exhibition space and daily life in the city touch each other, a quiet dialogue on production, life and public nature was tried. Co-organizers, collaborators and designers were callbox, and production collaborators were Sakyo Machino, Shinya Yoshida and Uto Matsuo.

Profile
[Eri Hoizumi]
With body sculpture as the theme, she creates works that connect the exhibition space and the living space and think about the difference between the raw human body and the living human body. In recent years, he has been working on creating works that seek ways to deal with the complex background that can be seen from what could be a "symbol" of a town, based on his own experiences.
