This pointillist painting is based on ‘The Meeting’ by Gustave Courbet and followed by Paul Gauguin. It reflects the film shooting situation of his performance film: Spread the jam on the Mount Takao, second opinion. Normally paintings attract viewers but a camera with tripod in his painting is gazing back to viewers. This piece depicts in an opposite side of the composition to reveal the relationship between “staring” and “stared by someone”.
