This work portrays the perspective of someone who has experienced digital sexual abuse in Tokyo, such as deepfake pornography or non-consensual photography.
It is composed of 3D computer graphics animation and live performance video shot in public spaces.
The improvised cleaning performance, carried out in train stations and on the streets, reflects a desire to "clean up" their digital memories stored on computers and their embodied memories.
It was inspired by Mierle Laderman Ukeles's “Maintenance Art Performances.”
It is partly inspired by Aia Elbke's Master’s thesis titled ‘Surreptitious abuse of everyday body images: When “sneaky photos” become sexually abusive’.
