About this project
Based on the fairy tale of Rapunzel, this video work consists of a performance scene and a miniature set. The artist Mai Endo plays Rapunzel.
Rapunzel eagerly awaits her prince from her tower top singing “Someday My Prince Will Come”. Her hair is extremely long and can reach far away outside of the tower. She starts to spin and rewind her locks in order to catch her unseen prince. As the spinning movement proceeds, Rapunzel becomes highly emotional. Eventually she loses sight of her initial aspiration and transforms into a mere yarn-ball-like, cocoon-like black mass.
Meanwhile, the world outside of the tower is ruined by Rapunzel’s rampaging hair. The chaos created is as if some apocalyptic natural disaster has taken place.

高田冬彥的創作充滿流行文化和幽默感的錄像作品，主題多樣，涵蓋神話、童話、性別、性別認同、自戀和創傷等。大多數作品是在藝術家的小公寓中拍攝，具有手工製作的質感，有時帶有些人們對於慾望的想像。這些看似荒誕的故事引發了對人類社會的各種思考。

Takata creates pop and humorous video works that deal with diverse themes and images such as mythology, fairy tales, gender, narcissism, and trauma. Most of his works are shot in the artist’s small apartment, and are characterized by a handmade texture and the occasional desire expression. The seemingly absurd stories raise various questions about human society.
