New York-based Aozaki choreographs playful performances that are
inspired by everyday commodities and interactions with people.
Using such quotidian materials, his works demonstrate how
today’s social relationships are embedded in the economic system
of consumer culture. For Smiley Bag Portrait, he draws portraits
of participants on plastic bags that are commonly used in U.S.
grocery stores. Visitors are invited to participate as models
and take home the portraits for free.
