Gaku Tsutaja: Pidgingo-no-Inko presents a video sculpture and related works exploring historical trauma, language, and memory. The parakeet, a decade-long motif, symbolizes immigrants, repetition, and pidgin communication. Through layered narratives and sculptural elements, Tsutaja examines war, colonization, censorship, and social media, inviting viewers to confront systemic violence, recurring histories, and the ways information and memory shape understanding across time.
