    Description

    A future where unsubstantiated truths and idealistic lies mix and eventually I will disappear." This work, which was included in the artist's 2017 20th anniversary solo exhibition, expresses insight into the information overload and ambiguity of truth in contemporary society. The letters printed on a red base background and the red-haired girl with her mouth covered symbolize our saturation with information and loss of self-identity. The letters spilling out from her illustrate the information that flows into our daily lives and how it affects us within ourselves, implying a challenge to the glue of truth. The film invites viewers to explore themselves and take a critical look at information in today's society, and to ponder deep philosophical questions. The making of this film is available on YouTube. Please take a look. https://youtu.be/2KprPW0RkGE?si=hTc_3HvNedWCgm8H

    Concept

    Kozou uses a child as a motif to express problems that modern society has. Problem includes gender identity of the artist, negative experiences in childhood, mass production and consumption, etc.
    Kozou started incorporating stamps as a new technique which is partly based on Japan's unique 'Hanko' culture, but at the same time, it is expressing the mass production and mass consumption of objects and information in society. Also, using mechanical characters rather than handwritten letters expresses the emptiness of the digital society.
