Naoya Sakaguchi develops performative works that spring from his intervention in communities, such as his “Shutter Guy” project and the discussion related to it. In particular, his disclosure of the raw and vivid reality of regional cities, which are exemplified by streets with many shuttered shops and businesses, and restructuring it as a mobile stall questions the system of exchange in capitalism in itself. The transposition of this concept is, needless to say, unusual to the world of an art fair.
