Object Lessonはインターネットの画像検索機能を使い、検索結果をタイトルとして採用する一連のシリーズです。オブジェクトレッスンとは、視覚的な補助(物体や写真など)を観察し、ディスカッションを通して学んでいくという教育方法のことを言います。
イメージと言葉の一対は何かを理解する際に用いられ、日常生活においても私たちが慣れ親しんでいる構造です。美術においては、作品とタイトルがこの構造を持っています。
このシリーズでは、作品のタイトルが作者によるものではなく検索結果である場合、それはタイトルであるといえるのか、そして、作品に付随する言葉が検索結果だと鑑賞者が知った時、作品への解釈に変化はあるのだろうか、という問いがベースにあります。
Object Lesson is a series that was created using image search on the internet, and the results of the image search were then adopted as the title of each work. "Object Lesson" is a teaching method in which visual aids (e.g. objects or photographs) are observed and learned through discussion.
The combination of image and word is a familiar structure that is used not only to learn, but also in every aspect of our lives. In art, works have a corresponding title and this helps in understanding the piece.
This series is based on the question: if the title of a work is the result of a search, rather than determined by the author, can it be considered the title of the work, and if the audience knows that the words accompanying the work are the result of a search, does it change their interpretation of the work?
