Insect Bites: Bedroom: Alcatraz Island
Business Overview
"Insect Bites: Bedroom: Alcatraz Island" is an attempt to look at the surface of the earth and the surface of the body equally and forcibly connect them through a place called "home.".
By bringing the destruction and pain of a distant place to the senses of one's own body and life, one seeks to create an opportunity to consider the event as one's own experience. Imajuku, who explores the body in detail, and Sone, who examines the architecture, forcefully connect these two perspectives through the concept of "house," and consider what kind of act it is to imagine and understand others.

Profile
Miyu Imajuku
Born in 2000. In the fields of poetry, performance, and media art, she works on the theme of self-integration and building relationships with others and the environment based on skin sensation.
In an urban space that is overly homogenized and informatized, Imajuku repeatedly felt that "I am easily dismantled." The disintegrated body is sometimes limp and heavy, sometimes frightfully light. For these disintegrating sensations, he's creating a device that redefines the self through repetitive approaches to the skin -- pressure, heat, vibration, staggering. By involving others in these devices and shaking each other's contours, they attempt to create new relationships that promote shared sensations and transformation, while confronting the violence and boundaries that lie within them.
