Catalogue Note

"I do not use numbers just as a metaphor for people, the metaphorical possibilities are much wider than that. The individuality of each person is important to recognize the whole image of the installation, in which each part is the same and different, in which each part is equal. In that sense, the absence of hierarchy, the equality of the whole image, is very important." - Tatsuo Miyajima
