​

Mayura Torii lets herself be carried by a floating incomprehension, a confusion of genres and values. This floating and this confusion, she takes them in, builds them, always in the name of a smile. She reinjects play, a subtle piffle, in the pontificating aspect of the concept. In this, she remains amused and skeptical of the Westerner’s overvaluation of performative thinking. She is not simply content with reminding us that there are other worlds with different orientations and hierarchies. From a destabilization without seriousness, she works sensations of joy and astonishment proper to the displacement. Each one of these works restitutes us the transitional disturbance, the indecision of the threshold, the delicious sensations of a small mental frontier to pass. This work, which is based on language, explores sensations of strangeness and of presence more or less detached from reality.
