Pepper's Project Exhibition[Psychological]
1999.1/10sun Natsunosuke Mise[Dwarfs In Synapse]Ceremony

Even if I and you have the same experience,
we aren't feel the same sound heard and the same touch felt.
I will talk first from the thing.
Therefore, let's try to do the experience which is the same for only first five minutes with all.
Then, let's try to speak about the difference.
This method is compulsion to you of a ceremony to hold to dream a dream to say clearly and that I am good.
I am happy if you can dream a dwarf's dream in this method.
Well,this workshop is not an art act. This is the only experience.

Ceremony 1
A sand hill is pierced the ladder,and it has you remember the park lying idle well in the little time.

When I was a schoolboy,I had the way to know the future. I went to the park at midnight fearing in the dark and made a ladder of twigs. I put it in a sand hill and slept in my bed. If a ladder did not fall down or was not damaged, I can see a dwarf, who comes down a ladder and tells me the future.
It is very personal story.
It has a channel changed to non-Daily life by having the park lying idle long ago thought of.
It has everyone close eyes between this ceremony again all the time.
As for your opening eyes and a ladder's falling, fancy is the same in the meaning that it actually yields.
Incidentally, we were very much serious, and he grappled in the ceremony of the park because it was said that it died to sleep as it is if a ladder fell.

Ceremony 2
It has each one do a wish after the sound of the music box is heard.

Though it is cheap and it may be able to be heard when a wish is said,it escapes from the actual restraint to you,want ideal condition to be prayed.

Ceremony 3
Heart sound is washed away in the big volume to the space which becomes quiet.

It was found out that a work was made by using the music box and "little sound" made the ability of the ear increase.
It must be made to concentrate an ear to hear little sound.
It tries to hear little sound, and the condition of the ear is only made just a little sensitive, and the world of the sound of daily life changes completely.

A workshop was almost held along his scenario text. The coffin of the cross type hung in the center of the space of the gallery. It is the image of himself to lie in the coffin. he little ladder of the hemp string hung down around the coffin, and some sheets of plates of copper board of about 30cm were hung again with the hemp string. The sand of the sandbox of the park in his childhood was heaped up on the plate. It follows the rail of the circle in the foot of the hung coffin, the music box that sound comes out when a train moves and which finished rusting is put,and the work of a little box like a deified altar was on three surfaces of the wall [the ladder of the branch of the tree]. Then, church music flowed quietly. That the participant who entered it is swept one by one twig ladder. Then, they stabbed it in the sand on the copper plate and closed eyes. It was not a wish, but it was image in the part which was a little different from the scenario [itself after 10 years] Big volume was not heart sound but a firecracker. 2 very thick hours passed through the talk of him before a ceremony begins and who waits quietly though a ceremony was about 10 minutes of the time, the rest of the ceremonies, a participant's impression, his and participant's conversation, and so on.
