Shiori Sasaki’s 描奏をきく (Kiku (sense) the [drawing + sound]), transforms visual gesture into an audible world. Merging live drawing with acoustic improvisation, it invites the listener into a synesthetic space where ink lines and sonic textures share the same breath.

"Kiku (Sense) the [drawing+sound]"

In Japan, the word "kiku" (usually meaning "to listen") has been used since ancient times to describe the sensory perception of invisible things, such as "kiku (to smell) a fragrance" or "kiku (to taste) sake".

On a YUPO drum, a drum covered with YUPO paper (polypropylene paper), the artist neither draws nor plays, but rather "kiku (sense) the [drawing+sound]" by inaction.

The process of [drawing+sound], as well as appreciation of the work in which the trajectory is fixed, is also "kiku=listening".
