As a minimal architecture

White Painting series was conducted in various regions/places and sometimes as much as 100 people’s kisses were impressed on a canvas.
White Painting is a collective term for the series and originally each work (canvas) has its own names of the participated peopleーsometimes it is the names of 100 people, 20 people, or three or four people in a family.

*appendix
1. Icons in a cycle of society
2. Opticality and technology / Invisible objects themselves

1. Icons in a cycle of society
Icon and paintings were surely in a cycle of lives and society once. The way people come in contact with this format is quite similar to the way they do with an icon. Meanwhile, the difference of this series from the icons is that in a White Painting nothing is depictedーor different images appear in the background when people face to it (and it is not God but other individual people). White Painting is a hardware/platforms without an image.

極小のアーキテクチャーとして

White Paintingシリーズは、様々な地域/場所で行われ、ときに1枚に100名の人びとに及ぶ接吻が刻印されています。
White Paintingはシリーズの総称であり、本来は一枚あたり、それぞれの人々の名前ーそれはときに100名の名前であり、20名程度の名前であり、あるいは家族3,4人の名前でありーが連なります。

*appendix
1. イコン、社会の循環の中で
2. オプティカルとテクノロジー / 見えない物質そのもの

1. イコン、社会の循環の中で
イコン・絵画はかつて確かに生活、社会の循環の中にありました。この形態との接し方は、イコンとよく似ています。
一方で、差はなにも描かれていないことーあるいはそれによってその背景にそれぞれのイメージが発生する(そしてそれは一つの神ではなく他者の個人たちである)ことーであり、White Paintingは、イメージのないハードウェア / プラットフォームでもあります。

This attempt was accepted by many regions and people. (In parallel with the general “reality” of a big unit/scale and division at the global level, there exists actually the fact like this too.)

This series was conducted in the US, Mexico, Taiwan, Italy, and Spain and the number of participants was over 600. Even the canvas on which almost 100 people had impressed kisses remained surprisingly white. And in a public space, the canvas interfered with people as a highly mobile, small structure/space.
