This catalogue is published in conjunction with the exhibition 'Ayano Hattori: Intimate Strangers' organised by Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, 19 April - 5 May 2013.
'"Ayano Hattori: Intimate Strangers" examines the subconscious act of looking in the context of human desire and urban environments. The act of looking is located within psychological fields of trauma, pain and desire in Hattori’s video works. Hattori employs acrylic screens in her installation, mimicking the architectural properties of glass and structure. Her works immerse viewers in participational observation, making them complicit in their desire to look. They become the site of voyeuristic desire.
'Hattori takes a performative approach in her art. By playing the role of the woman and using her voice and a sexually coded image, the artist criticises the objectification of women and the voyeuristic male gaze in historical and contemporary media. With video assuming a central role in her work, she addresses authentic experience in mediated actions and post-performance documentation manipulation.'
