Zero Dimension / Kato Yoshihiro
Zero Dimension showed unprecedented performances under the slogan of ‘bringing a human being back to zero’ from 1963 to 1972. First appearing in front of the International Hotel Nagoya in 1963, the artist group Zero Dimension produced performances like streaking in Shinjuku while wearing a gas mask or an all-nude man and woman tied up with a rope walking around the subway train in Tokyo. Zero Dimension values the polarity of the sacred and the secular found in traditional religious rituals, and combines their performance art with ‘rituals.’ Due to their taboobreaking actions the artist group was often neglected in the history of art, but Zero Dimension is now newly receiving attention both in Japan and abroad. Live and work in Nagoya. [Translated by Kim Jeong-bok]
