Ero Law Search

"Ero Law Search" is a work that allows you to experience drifting through a space where various illustrations, colors, and pictograms are drawn on the text of all Japanese laws and regulations available on the government website "e-Gov Law Search", by operating a controller with your foot. The law is inorganic and imposing, like an exhibit placed in a white cube chamber, but if there are pictures and colors on it, it would be easier for us. "legal" is made of two sounds: "li" and "gal". The character 離, which means to leave or away, is read as "li". And "gal" also means to leave. In ancient Japanese, "aku-gal" means your soul wanders away from the body. Thus "legal" has a feeling of leaving the place where you are now and flying around freely... ptoho: Torajiro Aida
