形のない音の形と多言語の音の感覚
私は形のない音を言語に置き換える事によってどのように表現できるかを考えています。日本には音を表すための言葉が数多くあります。私はこの表現の面白さを共有するため他国に赴き、そしてその土地の限定された言語から「音」に対する新しい視点を日常生活に求めています。
I am interested in how to give forms to sounds that usually have no visible form, by replacing them with a language. In Japanese there are a lot of words to express sounds. I have been in several countries to share these interesting expressions, as well as to find different viewpoints of "the sound" in local languages used in daily life.
The form of formless sounds and the sense of sounds in many languages.
The sound from objects and situations that people can encounter in our daily life is interpret through my senses and visualized by using the local language so inhabitant can also share my sense of the sound. This is what I would like to achieve with my works.
We feel sounds with the sense of hearing because they cannot be perceived visually. It depends on each culture and individual how to feel and express them. Although there are many onomatopoeic words in my country Japan, it is difficult to translate them into other languages due to its uniqueness, character and variety. However, sounds can be perceived directly as a pure "sound" without being translated into a language. For these reasons, I came up to the idea that I can bring a new expression of a sound in a different country with my own (it could be Japanese) senses, replacing it with an alphabet for local people.
So to achieve my purposes, It is important to visit several countries to feel the climates, environments and information myself to discover different viewpoints of sounds and the relationship between the senses of sound in each local environment and linguistic expressions of sounds.
I would like to visualize my senses of sound using their local languages (letters) for local inhabitants with the idea that "an image of a sound can be build by the accumulated senses of sound".
As important elements, there are some ways of expressing sound in visual effectively such as the sizes and forms of letters, how the letters described depending on situations, as you see in japanese mangas.
