In Kurachi and Takahashi’s project The Art of Survival they focus on the creative techniques human beings employ in order to stay alive, reconfiguring physical, intellectual, and linguistic relationships in a research and production project. At Parasophia they present the project Ornament and Crime: Sense/Common (2015), featuring a paradoxical space (a labyrinth of language) containing a white structure signifying a courtroom and prison, garden stones, and white nautical maps, from which relationships and meanings have been dismantled and bleached away to nothingness. On the other side of the mirror is a projected film of Suujin district of Kyoto, which has and will continue to develop apart from the main stream of history. This heterogeneous exhibition space causes the viewer to adopt a fluid perspective and to question concepts of division, field, authority, and language, continuously reiterating processes of thought and inspection.
