Under the guidance of artist Joroslaw Kozlowski, 16 artists from Rijksakademie ( 11 different nationalities) stayed for 10 days in the village SKOKI, in Poland. Supposedly making art, we discuss our works, the art world and share everyday life. Far away from the art scene, we openly talk about the art world that we are all connected to. This documentation is not meant to be objective, it is edited from the perspective of the maker. “We are talking about position in art, attitude in art. When we discuss your work in your studios, we talk about specific things. Trying to talk about structure of the work, significance, importance and meanings of the work. And very little, we are touching the notion of attitude. The attitude which is always behind the work, which is very much hidden and not discussed.” -J.

The structure of the film is episodic, each scene is repeatedly interrupted by another in a disorienting manner. It explores a notion of fragmented narrative within a cinematic context. Relating to the issue of 'the building of the Burma-Siam railway' during WWII, the story mixes with reality and fiction, documents and illusions where past and present co-exist. The film consists of a sequence of different visual materials; a painting, drawings, archive photographs, scenes with actors and animals. These various textures are combined in the timeline, observed and interpret the subject, as well as questioning the sense of time and space.

The word game; ` Fortunately, Unfortunately` is used as the main narration of this work. It tells a story of a man who lives with a pet bird in his studio apartment. From the bird`s point of view, the voice over describes the details of the man`s routine in his life. Along with the mechanical narration, we see the picture cards of everyday objects one after another. They are all embossed, manipulated in scale and have the disposable look. Each object, though seemingly mundane, begins to take on a more sinister and darker meaning as the man’s daily routine slips into a slothful existence brought on by his own uncontrollable excesses. This piece expresses the fears that through our own consumption our objects eventually own us, as they become stopgaps for what is lacking in our lives. https://vimeo.com/114136408 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55f9867fe4b0bac150138036/1442439669296-PHPVWCJ0SN60I4PF9CQ3/installation+view+small.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55f9867fe4b0bac150138036/1458422188053-SV51ACOBW4LETDN2NCK2/her+still1.jpeg Work http://www.mayumi-nakazaki.com/new-index-1 daily 0.75 2023-01-19 http://www.mayumi-nakazaki.com/new-index-2 daily 0.75 2023-02-22 http://www.mayumi-nakazaki.com/https/mayumi-nakazakisquarespacecom/config/pages daily 1.0 2025-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55f9867fe4b0bac150138036/1442485549673-IY2FV0R51WG4CVR45DGI/9.collage.jpg Mayumi Nakazaki http://www.mayumi-nakazaki.com/about daily 0.75 2025-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55f9867fe4b0bac150138036/1442420770271-OFTUDN06VKDS8LZUCEVB/IMG_0158.JPG About photo by: Astrid Menze
