ひつじ(2002〜)

-制作意図-

何故ひつじなのか、ということに関しては実に様々な理由がある。
家畜としての歴史が長く、衣食住に関わり、品種改良や実験の的になり、生贄や弱者や優しさの象徴としてしばしば登場し（宗教／絵画）、ヤコブ病として人間を脅かす存在、、、。「健やかなる時も病めるときも」、時代の中で共存をしてきた。
「ひつじ」の中に人間をみる。　「にんげん」の中に羊をみる。
おとなしく・やさしく・やわらかい存在だとみくびった人間の浅はかさと恐怖と悲しみ。

擬人化し、人が入っているにも関わらず、それは「ひつじ」として捉えられる。
「のぎすみこ」という人間社会での観念と関係性を無くし、そこに「ひつじ」という存在を出現させる事によって、新たな社会（他者）との精神的な距離間をはかり、きぐるみの中のわたしだけにおきる（もしくはおこす）変化を、「ひつじ」に遭遇し触れたひとの意識の中にもおこす試み。


● Sheep, 2002

Purpose
Why does it need to be sheep?
Sheep have been treated as livestock, very close to human life, used for animal experiment and
improvement of the breed. And also treated as the symbol as the weak, scarifies and tenderness in
paintings and religion, but also threaten us as Jacob disease.
In anytime we co-existed together, when we were health or even ill.
I see sheep in human, I also see human in sheep.
Human being took it wrong that sheep are just quiet, tender and soft caused us fear and sadness.
The Sheep turn into human being and human inside but still people treat it as shepp.
Cut off the relationship and idea to human society as Sumiko Nogi, Put the sheep instead of me,
Make new relationship with the society and the change which happening to me wearing sheep outfit
influences on the people meet me, sheep.
