Art University Graduate Asks: What Is the Importance of Having Your Own Thoughts? A Somewhat Unusual Exhibition "Consumption Declaration" in Akita City (Akita TV)
Summary
An exhibition titled "Consumption Declaration" by Kayano Deguchi, a graduate of Akita Public Art University, is being held at the Akita Public Art University Satellite Center on the 6th floor of Fonte AKITA in front of JR Akita Station until November 23. One work uses stickers on food trays that list personality traits and blood types, expressing how people judge others and choose how to interact with them, similar to selecting products at a supermarket. Another work, "Eyeballing," features seasonings in a refrigerator with labels reading "cute," and the back of each label describes when and what the person finds "cute," expressing that the diversifying word "cute" is actually used differently by each individual. The exhibition appeals to the importance of not being swayed by others' opinions in modern society overflowing with information, but instead choosing with one's own will.
