C.V. :
We had done intermittent activities adjacent to happenings or performance
since 70's. These activities were not clearly named in those days, but we
began to use the word "TAIGEN (appearance in body)" in 1988 and
started the group "TAIGEN SHUDAN φ AETTA". Since then we have
continued various solo performances and group performances under that name.
To us "TAIGEN" is different from so-called performance art as
the modern artistic expression wide open to public ; rather it is the individual
journey to the ground far from our oppressive illusion called "expression".
TAIGEN : [OTO-SAISYU & SEITAI TAIGEN] (Noise gathering &
Vocal chords TAIGEN)
CONCEPT : Think about "proto-memory" that is far older
than we were born on the earth. I don't know whether it exists or not, but
supposing it I try to devote my body to our earliest experiences or subconsciousness
that seems the nearest doorway to the "proto-memory". It is not
because I want to take a glance at my/our subconsciousness, but because
I want to mediate on whether I can correspond with my/our in-ner deep space
beyond which the "proto-memory" possibly exists or not, I wonder
if it might "exists" in my/our nearest daily life, or otherwise
