Roller skate shoes

video: Pancho Sirivejkul

 I wore a roller skate shoes, stood up towards the wall, put my hands on, and started walking on the floor as it is. Since the wheels of the roller shoes kept me on the same position by the wheel’s specific nature, so I could not move from the position where I started walking. I continued walking on the same position with steps equivalent to a total of one kilometer. As you can see, no matter how much I tried to walk forward, I accumulated my steps in the same space, where is lost a sense of distance. 

 Trough out visualizing an inconsistency between accumulation of walking, and disappearance of distance, I re-considered a creativity brought about by a kind of useless action. 

 ローラースケートシューズを履いた状態で、壁の前でひたすら歩行を続けるパフォーマンス。作者はシューズの車輪によって一定の位置を保ち、かつそこから離れることはない。距離感が失われた空間には、車輪の音と歩数のみが蓄積されていく。

 「歩く=進む」ことと「距離」との間にある本来の関係性を車輪によって断ち、空間的に制限された運動を繰り返すことで、ある種の無益な行為がもたらし得る創造性を提示した。
