The “Kodokushi” isn’t the word to describe a cause of death, and it is like a framework. The clear definition by the Japanese government is still missing. Therefore, it is difficult to justify it was “Kodokushi” or not, because the third person ( police ) judges without guideline from the situation. The word “Kodokushi” is always strongly linked to the image of miserable. Some person might have chosen to live alone and die, it’s not miserable at all. The different processes can have the same result, but there were certainly individuals. In the framework “Kodokushi”, every dead persons become the same and all is uniformed. The image cause the truth disappeared.In this series I use some Vermeer’s pictures on the base and overlaid some pictures which are the scenes of “Kodokushi”. Each person in Vermeer’s original paintings seems to live alone in own room, has the same situation of the dead persons defined as “Kodokushi”. We don’t feel the person is miserable or lonely from the portrait of Vermeer’s painting. I tried to put the person of Vermeer into an different place, in this case, a room of “Kodokushi” person. How does it look ? If you think there isn’t anything strange and it looks good and natural as if the person lives there, that is because the person of Vermeer has the same or similar taste to the person of the room. In other words, the person of picture and the owner of the room ( the Kodokushi person ) have the same way of life. The image of “Kodokushi” is too strong that prevents us from looking the process and the truth. The individual which the persons of “Kodokushi” have and the fact are disappeared by the strong image of “Kodokushi”. Each person, each individual has their different lives but this truth is hidden by the image we have. To find the truth and solution, we have to release our uniformed image from our minds.
