SIMULATION UNIVERSE
TOKYO VERSION

19th of October   18:00~  PERFORMANCE 19:00
20th of October   13.00-18.00
Studio Gross, Tokyo, 5 Chome-14-13 Higashiogu, Arakawa City, Tokyo 116-0012

SIMULATION UNIVERSE, a lecture performance, delves into the multifaceted realm of toy and play culture with a focus on the theme of simulation. Fanni Futterknecht engages in a critical exploration of the political dimensions inherent in toys, while also trying to understand the marketing of fantasy within an ever-expanding capitalist landscape. The inspiration for this project came from a stay last year in Japan, one of the largest exporters of toys in the world and an outstanding example of the global influence of toys and play narratives. Characters based on Japanese comics, games and animations such as Godzilla, Power Rangers, Super Mario and Pokémon shape the imagination of people worldwide, creating trends in design and pop culture and reaching far beyond the borders of Japan. Guided by the dramaturgy of personal experiences, Futterknecht‘s performance lecture investigates diverse forms of representation, shedding light on the social and political dimensions inherent in the act of play and its commercialization. The performance will be in conversation with live music by composer Camilo Latorre. The installation of the performance  will remain accessible as an exhibition the following day as well. Fanni and Camilo are currently on a 3 month residency in Japan developing a new film and performance project supported by TRA TRAVEL Osaka Art hub as well as the Austrian Ministry of culture and Japan EU Festival.

Fanni Futterknecht 

Fanni Futterknecht works in an interdisciplinary artistic field between video, performance and installation. Her practice examines performance in the time- based visual and performing arts and its relationship to text and narrative. Part of this exploration is the examination of media translation processes and the questioning of the media used in the respective artistic context. Repeated stays in Japan have significantly contributed to shaping and deepening her interest in Japanese performance culture. As part of a PhD in Practice, she is currently researching performances and their instrumentalisation through language in public and semi-public spaces, taking cultural and political dimensions into account.

Camilo Latorre

Camilo is a Colombian composer and writer based in Vienna. He studied piano pedagogy at MDW in Vienna and later composition at the Plovdiv Academy of Music and at the Anton Bruckner University in Linz. Camilo´s formal interest lies specially in finding relationships between music and other art forms, like literature and visual arts.

シミュレーションユニバース
東京バージョン

10月19日    18:00~  パフォーマンス 19:00
10月20日    13.00-18.00
スタジオグロス、東京 116-0012 東京都荒川区東尾久5丁目14-13

『SIMULATION UNIVERSE』は、シミュレーションというテーマに焦点を当て、「オモチャ」と「遊び」の多面的な領域を探求するレクチャーパフォーマンスです。フッタークネヒトは、オモチャを拡大しつづける資本主義「ファンタジーというマーケティング」に関心を持ち、その大国である日本でリサーチを進めてきました。日本は世界最大のオモチャ輸出国の一つであり、オモチャや遊びに関する物語が世界に影響を与えています。実際に、ゴジラ、戦隊もの、スーパーマリオ、ポケモンなど、日本の漫画、ゲーム、アニメーションのキャラクターたちは、世界中の人々の想像力をかき立て、デザインやポップカルチャーのトレンドを生み出し、国境を越えて影響を及ぼしています。そして彼女らは、私的な経験を軸に、多様な表現形態を往来しながら、「遊び」とその商業化に内在する社会的および政治的側面を探ります。

※ パフォーマンスは、作曲家カミロ・ラトーレによる生演奏とともに行われ、パフォーマンスのインスタレーションは、翌日も展覧会として鑑賞可能となります。ファニとカミロは現在、TRA-TRAVEL(Osaka Art Hub)、オーストリア文化省、ジャパン・EU・フェスティバルの支援を受け、日本で3ヶ月の滞在制作を行っています。
