ILY GIRL

“ILY GIRL”
Where did “I” come from?
Is the version of myself that others tell me I am the real me?
Or should I be the version of myself that I envision?

Is this legal? Is that illegal?
This is no good, that is no good.
This is not the real me.
That is the real me.

I LOVE YOU, GIRL.
I'm going to live a daily life that sparkles through editing,
where the real me can‘t be seen.

『ILY GIRL』(イリー・ガール)
自分というものは、どこから生まれてきた
誰かにいわれた自分の姿が本当の自分なのか、
自分が思い描く自己があるべき姿なのか
これは合法?あれは非合法?
これもダメ、あれもダメ
こんなの本当の自分なんかじゃない 
それが本当の自分

I LOVE YOU, GIRL.
素の姿なんて分からないくらい
加工されてキラキラ輝いてる日常の中で生きていくんだ

About

イラストレーター Mika Pikazo
本展は、自分にとって思い出深い『原宿』での開催です。
子供の頃、親に連れられて初めて来た原宿は沢山のクリエイティブに溢れていて
夢と希望に溢れている場所だと思いました。それは今でもそうだと思っています。
こうなりたいと思う偶像の姿と、沢山の思惑によって生まれたコンテンツ、
子供も大人も、楽しい何かを求めてくる場所が原宿だと思っています。

『ILY GIRL』はイラスト、アニメーションだけでなく、
空間を用いた、空間全体が作品であり感情の変化を表現している
『インスタレーション』の可能性を探った展示会になっています。

目の前にある一つの作品としての姿と、空間を通して浮かび上がってくる姿。
人間の表と裏の感情、素の自分と偶像の自分は何なのかを模索して制作しました。
是非現実の空間にて体験していただけると嬉しいです。
よろしくお願いします。

Illustrator/Mika Pikazo
This exhibition will be held in Harajuku, which holds special memories for me.
When I was a child, my parents brought me here for the first time,
and I saw Harajuku as a place full of creativity, overflowing with dreams and hope. I still believe it is.
The image of the idol people aspire to be and the content created through diverse motives.
For both children and grown-ups, Harajuku is a place they come to seek something fun.

“ILY GIRL” explores not only illustrations and animations,
but also the potential of “installations”, turning the entire space into an artwork
and expressing the changes in emotions throughout the space.
The form of a single artwork in front of you and the form that emerges through the space.

I created this exhibition to explore the emotions of a person‘s outward and inward selves,
the real oneself and the idolized oneself.
I would be delighted if you could experience it in person.
Thank you very much.
