In her performance-photo-based project “Hide-and-Seek” Tsukioka describes the status of civilization from her own perspective.
Living in our cities surrounded by fear and terror, the human behavior has to focus on survival. Her strategy for that is based on hiding: she constructed different suits resembling soft drink machines, and different objects which she can wear in dangerous situations. The result of her work is a complex project where the photo and video documentation, the suits, and the hiding come together as one unit of life experience.
