Bep Mitsutak 別府充貴
I am creating my works by events, tours and records of performances and statues about '' Expansion of body by materialization of body ''. I intervene in nature, human groups and social system, and consider how each human should be in community, and practice how wide we can expand our body (not only outside, but also inside). Through these practices, I think we can re-measure gigantic affairs as human scale.
