Yuki Okumura, The Man Who, 2019. HD Video, 116 minutes 15 seconds (Japanese subtitled version)

Installation images courtesy of Keio University Art Center, Tokyo. Photos by Calo works Co. Ltd. Film stills courtesy of the artist and MISAKO & ROSEN, Tokyo. Scanned photographs by Jean-Hubert Martin, 1993.

Press Release:

When stating that somebody is an interesting person, or a boring person, one is actually reducing various behaviors of that person into a flat image and entrenching her or him in this thin plate. However, of course, that person’s behaviors are not always interesting or boring, but just different each time. Above all, the defined character one applies to the person depends purely on one’s perspective and standpoint.

This solo exhibition by Yuki Okumura revolves around his latest film entitled The Man Who (2019), which comprises nine people’s recollections about somebody they call “him.” It is Okumura’s attempt to untangle the rigidly fixed bundle to which diverse aspects of “him” have been put together, multilayering the image through a series of procedures reminiscent of overlaying different photographic plates one after another. Here, “he” indeed emerges as a singular man every time the pronoun is pronounced, but also turns into plural men as the nine interviewees deliver their stories. This duality tears apart the man/men toward two poles, namely their most general states and their most specific states, between which we encounter countless versions of “the man who” — each is simultaneously “him” who looks very much like anybody and a similitude of “him” who looks absolutely like nobody.

This exhibition also includes an act of placement of a collection of three reference items related to the film into the archive of Keio University Art Center, lasting just for the show’s duration.* Along with The Man Who, which is at once an artistic film work and an oral historical referential material, this intervention is to provoke fresh discussions as to what a material really is for an archive and what kind of possibilities archival materials can open up today. Indeed, as shown by the nine individuals narrating their memories with “him” in the film, each of us has a body that is an archive on its own, established in this physical world and accessible only for a fleeting moment.

  * Open to any researcher but a preliminary online reservation is necessary. Please make a reservation here.

Special viewing on Saturday, November 9

13:00 Screening: The Man Who (2019 | HD video | 116 minutes 15 seconds) *

15:30 Discussion: “The Process of Doubles” (Yuki Okumura x Yusuke Minami x Yohko Watanabe x Hitoshi Kubo) **　　　 

* Not on view during the discussion. Screened continuously on other exhibition days.

** Japanese only.

  Yuki Okumura

A man who was born in Aomori, 1978, and now lives in Brussels and Maastricht. Artist. In many of his projects, Okumura inserts his own life and fantasy in a specific area of recent art history, reactivating it in the present timeframe as a site of uncertainty that develops through ever-changing interpersonal relations, driven by his belief in the essential parallelity of worlds and the ultimate interconnectedness between individuals. Recent solo exhibitions include Hisachika Takahashi by Yuki Okumura (2016 Maison Hermè Le Forum, Tokyo. Curated by Reiko Setsuda), Na(me/am) (2018, Convent, Ghent. Organized by Jeroen Staes and Wouter De Vleeschouwer) and 29,771 days – 2,094,943 steps (2019, LA MAISON DE RENDEZ-VOUS, Brussels. Presented by MISAKO & ROSEN).

Hitoshi Kubo

A man who was born in Tokyo, 1977 and now lives in Kanagawa. Archivist, among other activities. Departing from certain archives or specific referential materials and montaging various spatiotemporal perspectives that they encompass, many of his projects shed light on not only events that occurred but also those that could have occurred, fundamentally as a way for him to explore possibilities to redesign conditions of human experiences as variable circuits by means of observation, analysis, and construction of montages employed in films and other artistic works, driven by his trust to the world, which in his eyes essentially stands as a process of self-generation and flickering. Recent writings include Montaging Penumbra: on a Motif of Archive (report for JSPS Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research 26580029 | 2017) and “A Case of a Studio: Shuzo Takiguchi and a Laboratory,” NACT Review, no. 5 (2018 | National Art Center Tokyo). At Keio University Art Center, he has directed a project to reconsider archives, called Pleating Machine (2018–). 

Yusuke Minami

A man who was born in Tottori, 1959 and now lives in Yokohama and Nagoya. Curator. Director of Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art since April 2017, after working at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (MOT), and the National Art Center, Tokyo (NACT). His curated exhibitions are mainly related to contemporary art and 20th century art. The former ones include solo exhibitions of Natsuyuki Nakanishi (1997), On Kawara (1998), Takashi Murakami (2001) and Tadanori Yokoo (2002) at MOT as well as Kazumi Nakamura (2014) and Yayoi Kusama (2017) at NACT, along with group exhibitions such as “MOT Annual 1999: Modest Radicalism” (1999) at MOT and “Artist File 2008” (2008), “The Light: MATSUMOTO Yoko / NOGUCHI Rika” (2009) and “Given Forms: TATSUNO Toeko / SHIBATA Toshio” (2012) at NACT. The latter ones include group shows such as “Living in the Material World: “Things” in Art of the 20th Century and Beyond” (2007), “Le Surrealisme: Exposition organisee par le Centre Pompidou a partir de sa Collection” (2011) and “American Pop Art From the John and Kimiko Powers Collection” (2013), as well as large-scale retrospectives of Picasso (2008), Man Ray (2010), Magritte (2010) and Dalí (2016), all at NACT. 

Yohko Watanabe

Born in 1961. Professor, Keio University Art Center. Curator. As the Vice Director of Keio Museum Commons, she is engaged with establishing a new vision of a university art museum. All of her organized exhibitions are characterized by a consistent curatorial attitude despite their smallness in scale and marked by her belief that working in tandem with an artist’s work in the real sense means looking at each piece sincerely and meeting the artist and encountering the profound depth of the artistic realm through such commitment. Her curated shows at Keio University Art Space includes the 2012–2015 series entitled “Contemporary Eyes” (iteration I being “Hamish Fulton: Five Walks,” II “from here: stanley brouwn and Daniel Buren,” III “Sunrise and Sunset: Bruce McLean, 1985 – 90,” IV “The Light Dwells: Imi Knoebel” and V “Blinky Palermo”) and a new series since 2017 called “Standing Point” (iteration I being “Yoko Terauchi and II “Ana Mendieta”).

You have any HC in regard for Sakura, Himari and Minami friendship? Like how they interact with each other and all?

Ooooh yay Minami and Himari!! I haven’t given this trip much thought but I’ll do my best:

• They met in their 2nd year since Sakura is forever 18. 2nd year is probably the youngest they could pass for

• Either way they just sorta showed up one day like “hi look at me I’m here now”

• Minami and Himari have been friends since middle school, they both dated other girls before but by the end of their 2nd year they confessed their feelings for each other (thanks to some motivation and wing-manning from Sakura)

• Around this same time, Sakura met Natsuhiko so yeah by the time Minami and Himari got together Sakura was sick of romance talk

• Minami and Himari just sort of adopted Sakura into their group and became a trio, they were both instantly platonically infatuated with them

• Sakura is a bit distant because they’re bad at creating deep bonds but they still care about Minami and Himari. They have a hard time admitting it but they genuinely enjoy their company

• Himari offers to set Sakura up with Natsuhiko as a thanks for getting her and Minami together, Sakura adamantly refuses

• Minami and Sakura do each other’s hair. They each have very specific grungy styles they like and they’re both good with hair so it’s a match made in Heaven

• Sakura’s hair was much longer before they met Minami, Minami helped them create their current style at a sleepover

• Himari is a cheerleader and Minami is on the track team, meaning they’re both very into sports. Sakura is the type to hate sports so much they intentionally get basic facts wrong about it

• “How was your track meet? Did you score a touchdown?” • Sakura and Yokoo have met through Minami but neither of them have any idea that they’re indirectly connected through Kou

• One day Kou mentions him and Sakura’s like “wait how do YOU know Yokoo??”

• The three of them are all lesbians so they don’t have to suffer through boy talk with each other

• Sakura’s into witchcraft and helps Himari and Minami make spells for whatever their hearts desire. Luck for passing a test, revenge on their enemies, etc.

• At first Himari thinks it’s kinda creepy but Minami LOVES it and soon they’re helping Sakura out with all their rituals

• Neither Minami nor Himari have ever seen Sakura’s house so they have a bet on whether or not they sleep in a coffin (Himari thinks they do)

• Just imagine this group as the trio from Fruits Basket- Himari is Tohru, Minami is Uotani, Sakura is Hanajima

• Since Himari is a femme, she gets hit on a lot by guys who assume she’s straight. Minami is usually there to kindly tell them to back off, but when she’s not, Sakura appears to turn the guys to stone with one look

• Whether I mean that literally or figuratively is up to you

• Sometimes Minami accidentally pinches people’s cheeks because she’s used to doing that with Shun. Himari finds it adorable, Sakura not so much

• They go to a lot of concerts together. Himari likes pop music, Minami likes a mix of pop and grunge, and Sakura likes classical music, so they’ve been to a wide variety of shows

• Himari fully believes Sakura is a vampire

• Minami is the valedictorian of their class and Sakura is the salutatorian

• Sakura’s natural hair color is black, Minami helps them dye it

• I love love love the goth Sakura headcanon, goth Sakura is canon to me

• Minami dresses more casual/masc and Himari dresses very hyperfeminine

• Because of this, despite the vampire allegations Himari deeply admires Sakura’s love of fashion

• Minami called Sakura emo once and got a full lecture from both of them on the different subtypes of goth/emo/punk/scene/etc.

• Minami and Himari like to get emotional and plan their future a lot, talking about how Sakura will be a bridesmaid at their wedding. This makes Sakura sad because they know they can’t be with them for long

• Sakura is surprisingly good with animals. Himari has a cat that absolutely loves them

• Himari has very strict parents and Minami’s parents aren’t around much so they both struggle some with their home lives

• Sakura has offered to kill their parents for them on more than one occasion

• The three of them have frequent sleepovers

Alright that’s all I can think of for now, thank you for the ask!! Now that I’m thinking of these three I can’t stop lol

[musicalmoritz]

This is kind of a really unpopular rarepair, so I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't know it, but, what do you think of Minami and Himari? (Again, they appear like four times, I think ??? (҂ ꒦ິヮ꒦ິ))

Bestie I am a little offended you think there’s any wlw TBHK ship I haven’t heard of. I made headcanons for them on TikTok several months ago when we first got a name for Minami. They are such a god tier ship, I love them so much. They give me jock x cheerleader vibes. I see them as high school sweethearts, that one It Couple that everyone adores. Tho I think most of the student body would be a little jealous due to Minami’s popularity

I don’t have a whole lot to say about them seeing as they are very minor characters but I adore this ship, I’m not sure if there are any fics yet but I hope to write one someday. If Minami survived the whole supernatural attack thingy, I like to think Himari would help her work through her trauma from it and adjust back to her normal life. She’s wary of flowers afterwards so Himari buys her chocolates instead. And on a lighter note Minami totally makes Himari babysit Yokoo/help her with babysitting him, which he finds annoying bcuz he’s 14. They are butchfemme girlfriends fr fr

Thank you for this ask, this ship deserves more recognition
