命がけの遊び

　同じ大阪出身の美術家・森村泰昌さんに言わせれば、三島さんは「これや！」の人だった。作りたいものや素材に出会うと、理屈抜きで心が動く。過剰な情報社会への危機感や環境問題への関心といった作品のコンセプトは、あくまで「後付け」にすぎなかったと森村さんはみる。

　自身の制作を、よく「命がけの遊び」と称していた。２０２１年の東京・森美術館のグループ点では、丸めた新聞を模した陶のオブジェ約１３０個を立ちっぱなしで作りあげ、直後に足が動かなくなった。そこには「遊び」という言葉とは裏腹に、切実な衝動があったのだろうと森村さん。ただ、この先輩美術家との対話はどこか異次元の人を相手にしているようにつかみどころがなく、「何回話しても答え合わせはできないような気がした」と振り返る。

　それとも、答えなど初めからなかったのだろうか。パリンと割れる新聞のように軽やかな謎を残し、三島さんは去っていった。

This important volume, whose title combines Gertrude Stein’s famous motto, “Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose,” with the name of Marcel Duchamp’s feminine alter ego, Rrose Selavy, features portraits, self-portraits and photomontages in which the gender of the subject is highlighted through performance for the camera or through technical manipulation of the image. In many of the works, photography’s strong aura of realism and objectivity promotes a fantasy of total gender transformation. In other pieces, the photographic representation articulates an incongruity between the posing body and its assumed costume. Features work by Cecil Beaton, Brassai, Claude Cahun, Marcel Duchamp, Hannah Hàch, Man Ray, Janine Antoni, Matthew Barney, Nan Goldin, Lyle Ashton Harris, Robert Mapplethorpe, Annette Messager, Yasumasa Morimura, Catherine Opie, Lucas Samaras, Cindy Sherman, Inez van Lamsweerde and Andy Warhol.
