Makoto MORIMURA: Dear Thomas
Editor's Note
Written by Takeshi HIRATA   
Published: November 15 2009

The artist mistakenly received one e-mail for Thomas. He started search (sousaku)/creation (sousaku) to find out the Thomas relying solely on the name. In one exhibit, all the alphabets printed on maps and magazines, except for T, H, O, M, A and S, are erased with white-out. What Morimura intends to “correct” deliberately using collection fluid is “information” burying the existence of the Thomas. Nevertheless, his attempt may also be considered as an act to make the nonexistent person, the Thomas, appear on paper. (Translated by Nozomi Nakayama)
