What governs our daily lives? Oya's work simply questions our everyday gestures. Everyday objects are manipulated and transformed there. Through the transgression of their ordinary jobs, Oya determines a succession of repeated experiences and actions following precise protocols. Each question posed in the work is also a question posed to the viewer. Is the real absurd? Where does the truth lie? Where can poetry interfere? Where is the danger?
