Hot Bed 2 : body-formed latex gum, steel pipes, TV, VCR, H200xW150xD150cm, 2000, Old Army Clothing Depot, Hiroshima

This piece combines human skins copied in latex gum, with video images and forms like the emergence of a silkworm from its container. Something I aim at with this work is a sort of self-portrait, and also the portrait of Japan in the 20th Century.
