Q&A

ーPlease tell us how you have made the label, The Collection Artaud which is named after Antonin Artaud.

“Pour en finir avec le jugement de dieu (FR) / To Have Done with the Judgment of God (EN)” by Artaud is one of my favourite books. I think he is a person who always confronted with incongruity against the society and trying to deal with the world where drastic changes are impossible. Apparently I feel strange social restraint from Japan. At one time I read Artaud and I thought that I was truly a human being with a body with organs that is functioning properly. You could enjoy the society as if it were games with insensitivity, but the artist can not do it so well. So I think that it is important for the artist to make ceaseless efforts not to change oneself in the society. I feel from Artaud’s writing that it is a breakup or dissociation against such social pressure, I named after him as a kind of declaration of excavating and supporting Artaud’s living in my modern age.
