オーストラリアのメルボルン。まだ訪れたことのない土地で憧れのユートピアを探すプロジェクト。それは「ビールでも飲みながら新年の花火を観るために1000人の人が集まる小さな丘」だった。路上で出会った様々な人々にインタビューをおこない、1時間5ドルで借りたレンタサイクルに乗って、空想上のユートピアを探しだす。コンビニの店員、タコス屋、駅員、土方作業員、警察。それぞれが案内する先にユートピアは存在するのか。

[Looking for Utopia]
2010, Performance, Seventh Gallery, Melbourne, Australia.

Melbourne Australia. Contemplating his first visit to the city, and with his own personal vision of utopia in mind (a small hill on which thousands of people gathered, drinking beer and watching the New Year fire works), Kotaka ventured on a project “Looking for Utopia”. Seeking to find the imaginary ideal of “utopia” in the real world, Kotaka interviewed various people he met in the streets, such as convenience store attendants, tacos restaurant staff, station attendants, construction site workers, and police. Would the places they guided him to reveal that utopia truly existed?
