Aoi Konishi
He sees sculpture as an act of contemplating the world through the substitution of matter, and focuses on the pictograms of living organisms, which are primitive human creations, creating works with the intention of engaging in a dialogue with the world through the pictograms of living organisms.
Based on his own personal life as a tulpamancer and the etymological meaning of the word tulpa (tulpa), which comes from the Tibetan Buddhist concept of the body, "changing form," he develops works that use his own tulpa as a motif.
He also creates works in which he dresses up as a sculpture, referencing the culture of beast-man costumes and the concept of Gilbert and George's Living Sculpture.
He defines his own works as "10 people (beasts, humans, inhabitants of this world)" and expresses elusive beings that seem to have character but are difficult to grasp in a pop and impressive way.
