T+review

　"Sit on a chair"
　This is an action we perform repeatedly, day in and day out.
The purpose may be to rest, to listen to lectures, or to eat.
After all, they are doing it for a purpose, and an outsider can usually tell why the person is sitting there.

　So why those people?
In the gallery, chairs are arranged like in a classroom.
Is he sitting?

　There is no teacher, no blackboard, and no table in front of them.
On the white wall next to it, the words "Sitting on a Chair" are written in large letters in black vinyl tape.
That's exactly it. They're sitting in chairs.

　Just by being aware of the everyday actions you perform every day,
It begins to look like a strange sight.

　Their goal is to "sit in a chair."

　As soon as the action and purpose matched, a familiar action created a different space.
However, they do move around occasionally, and occasionally some of them read.
Some people sit upright, while others sit slackly.
During the week-long exhibition, sometimes there is only one person sitting there, and other times there are many people sitting there.
This change is quite everyday and is a familiar scene, just like inside a classroom.

But something is wrong.

Yes, they were there to "sit in chairs."
