1000 in Japanese makes me think of a dream
it means dream in the Polish language
a wrapped dream
of white snakes
and A Long Vacation
She said “You should make experiences that fold like paper’’
Some say they have nightmares after drinking a bottle of Y1000
or wet dreams
At midnight the vehicle turns back into a pumpkin
The good ones or the bad ones?
Makes my wish come true
Make me happy
until we learn not to oppress or restrain
I was doing an installation with about 700 pairs of cups on the subway platform
an exceptional state of pervasive fragility
the day I arrive Fuyumi gives me a round shaped almond
22:30 alarm: pills! a bean thrown at the demon
a little helper
I take the horse by the rope and lead it through the ocean
Body Fantasy
Dancing all Night
- アーティストによるテキスト
日本語の1000（千：セン）は、私に夢を思わせる
それはポーランド語で夢を意味する言葉
白い蛇と
ア・ロング・バケイションの
包まれた夢
彼女は言った「紙を折りたたむような体験をするべきだよ」
Y1000を飲んだあと悪夢を見るという人もいる
もしくは、エロい夢
真夜中に、乗り物はかぼちゃに戻る
良いのでも悪いのでも？
Makes my wish come true
Make me happy
抑えたり我慢したりしないことを学ぶまで
地下鉄のプラットフォームで、私は700組のカップを使ったインスタレーションをしていた
蔓延する脆弱性の例外的な状態
着いた日にフユミは丸い形のアーモンドをくれた
22:30のアラーム：薬！ 鬼に投げられる豆
リトルヘルパー
ロープで馬を曳いて、海を渡る
