Yoriko Mizushiri 水尻自子
Born in Aomori, Japan in 1984. Filmmaker. Living in Tokyo. She expresses textures using everyday motifs such as parts of the body through her animation works.
Comments by Mr. Taku Furukawa (Artist), Supervisor for this program：
My encounter with Mizushiri's animation came after a recommendation from a friend who saw a graduation exhibition at Joshibi University of Art and Design (Tokyo, Japan). My friend said, "There is an animation that Taku would like." It didn't take long to get a full sense of Mizushiri's world through works like "Kappo", "Futon" and "Maku".
Her use of music and unique flow of time appeal to the senses of smell, touch, and taste rather than sight and hearing. Rather than eroticism, I have always thought that her works are kind of closer to the surprisingly satisfactory texture I encounter when akami tuna sashimi melts in my mouth.
1984年，生於日本青森，現居日本東京，電影人。她熱愛透過動畫去表達日常，例如運用身體不同部份的畫面去呈現主題。
本節目的負責人及藝術家古川桌這樣說過：
我是機緣巧合地在一個朋友的推薦下在日本東京女子美術大學的畢業展中看到水尻自子的作品。我的朋友說這會是我喜歡的動畫作品。透過她的作品《kappo》、《Futon》以及《Maku》，我很快就可以全面了解到自子的世界。她的作品不獨是視覺與聽覺的作品，她運用了音樂以及獨特的時間流動去誘動了嗅、觸、味三覺。與其說之為情色，我倒覺得那是近似赤身金槍魚刺身融化在味蕾的滿足感。

Audio Architecture -airflow- (2018)
聲音建築 – 空流 - (2018)
Animated Short Film 動畫短片
Duration 影片長度：5’08”
The original animated short film, "airflow" was created for the exhibition, "Audio Architecture" held at 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT in 2018.
This version of the animated short film was re-edited for the live concert of Cornelius.
MIZUSHIRI Yoriko, who creates animations that tickle the tactile senses of the viewer and stimulate the internal organs with humorous and sensual movements, expresses a slight shift in feeling by paying attention to a structure where a range of sensations are contrasted with the lyrics of the song. Multiple familiar objects such as sushi, tissues, and balloons show the same movement at the beginning, but since they are drawn separately, small differences in shape and movement start to appear naturally.
原片《空流》是為了2018年於日本東京21_21美術館的展出而創作的，展覽名為「聲音建築」，此版本則是為了Cornelius演唱會的重新剪輯版。
水尻自子的創作令觀者觸覺發癢，通過把結構上的專注對比歌曲歌詞而產生的輕微變化，作品裡的幽默與感性觸動著觀者的內。許多熟悉的物品，好像壽司、紙巾、汔球等，在開端時呈現相類似的移動，但由於它們是被分別畫下來的，久了，些微的分別就會開始自然地出現。

[Jury Selections in Animation Division of the 23rd Japan Media Arts Festival]
日本歌手來生孝夫的著名歌曲《My Luxuary Night》在1977年推出，是日本流行音樂界其中一首最偉大的樂曲，由於這首歌在七十年代推出時並沒有製作音樂錄影帶，水尻自子於2019為此歌創作出其第一部音樂錄影帶。
