Ideal Foreigner Living In England
23rd August – 18th September 2006

Anti-Cool intended to experience up to seven different kinds of jobs that are mostly undertaken by migrant workers coming into the U.K. A developed country such as the U.K. has various ethnic groups however it is not easy to become involved with migrant workers and their communities or even to work along side them unless you are of the same race or have a connection.

Anti-Cool believes if a person can associate with any and all communities freely, this can be a future Utopia. Not only because this provides a person with a means to survive, but also it can provide experience of the wider world, attaining useful information and developing a variety of choices, this possibility comes only after conquering difficult situations. Anti-Cool feels that is what makes this Utopia much richer.

Since graduating in 1997 from the Digital Art Department of Techno Media Academy, Anti-Cool has exhibited extensively, her first participation performance called 'A Crowd No.1' formed part of 'NIPAF ‘00' at Kid Ailack Art Hall, Tokyo, Japan, August 2000 and since this time she has worked throughout Japan, Europe, as well as in the USA.
