NORIKO KATSURA

“ Le Carnaval de ces Enfants ”

At first glance, the painting appears to depict an every day dinner table but on closer
inspection the food has faces making you feel uncomfortable and making you sense the unique
inner vision of the artist, Noriko Katsura.
What are these creatures she calls "These children, those children"?
Katusra believes that Japan is not only a mass production and mass consumption country
but also the top pruducer of waste in the world.
In "These children, those children" where I'm left and go casually so that the each may ignore
its life look by a creature for the ingredients originally, loneliness.
It's said that a screen is expressing the assertion to feel the sadness and not to forget our
human rights much.
I want to call it "animisum of a table" but she has resistanceto it.
It is say that the forests are dewlling place of the sprit in Asia and we have lived in nature.
But, civilized country? how even to ask the life from the processed ingredients in Japan?
But it evolves into this present-day expression by virtuality or a cartoon film, and it's given to
the person who sees the peculiar expression which makes the shape of the human brain that
he's degenerating and the dried life look feel.
How pleasant is a first exhibition of the young ability which has no things seen by now.
