A project led by cultural anthropologist, Satoshi Nakajima. Its focus is on bricolage and flâneur as fundamental acts of creation that are common to art and anthropology. Although dominated by unconsciousness, purposelessness and illogicality, they are still considered to be acts that produce “something”. In other words, the objective of this project is to rescue “originality” once again from acts that completely lack intention or purpose, rationality or functionality, or any semiotic or commercial nature. Consequently, there are numerous non-professional “amateurs” participating in the project, and the fact that the digital camera is serving as an important tool in the project is of great interest. A tradition of “images” that has tied together the unconscious nature of originality since the invention of photography has an unmistakable presence in this project.
