SOMETHING UNDERNEATH
It is as if you looked at the world through two
different eyeglasses. Using one pair, you see all
objects as normal. Using the other, you see them
as monsters. The sense of monstrosity is given
by the scheme of the face, which doesn’t have the
natural curved shape, but has taken on the rigid
geometry of a robot figure.
Something is there! It might
be hidden right in front of
our eyes, but we won’t be able
to see it. That untouchable,
unseen, abstract “something”
is Nendo’s monster, hidden
under a sliver of cloth or a sheet
of paper. These monsters are
rooted in Japanese culture.
