Project Title:
Perfect Blue
Project Description:
Perfect Blue translates Satoshi Kon’s psychological horror film into a material installation exploring identity, obsession, and the instability between reality and illusion. Centered on a dress constructed from printed film script, layered newsprint, pleating, pins, and red thread, the project turns language into something worn, fragmented, and spatial. Paired with a foldable idol-inspired poster, scattered script pages, projection, and suspended threads, the work externalizes Mima’s psychological unraveling and examines how narrative, memory, and selfhood can be constructed, performed, and pulled apart.
