About the artwork

The piece begins with a magical girl casting her magic on a man who is rotting alive like a zombie. The piece starts from the stark contrast between the delicate innocence of the girl and the body of a man already falling apart. Rather than purifying his decay, the magic accelerates it into a different kind of abnormality. As the man vomits brightly colored matter, vivid patterns spread across his face and body, transforming him into an increasingly grotesque form. Here, the brightness and splendor associated with magical girls do not function as salvation. Instead, they become a force that pushes the body even further into the abnormal. When an innocent power touches a decaying being, it is not purified. It is transformed into something more vivid, more spectacular, and more monstrously abnormal.

About the artist

Kurupuri

I have always been obsessed with laughter, having written countless scripts for sketches and manzaicomedy—not as a performer, but as a writer. The performers would take my scripts and elevate them, interpreting them in ways that made the laughter shine brighter. Yet within me grew a desire to pursue something sharper, stranger—laughter so radical it might no longer even be laughter at all. Perhaps no one else would laugh, but it would be mine alone. This vision could not be expressed through words, nor could it be performed by someone else. It belonged entirely to the realm of imagination—unrealizable, until now. In my restless search, the times gifted me with a remarkable technology. AI appeared before me as a new kind of performer.
