 In 1998 Noi Sawaragi 椹木 野衣 wrote in Japan/Modernity/Art 日本・現代・美術 how Japan was a 'bad place' 「悪い場所」 and not only for 'critical art production',<html></br></html>
 but culturally because it is a place of repetition and forgetting - when problems happen they provoke outcries which are then forgotten until the next time,<html></br></html>
-but not as if nothing happened rather as if nothing sticks or accumulates, however often repeated.((In 2003 Sawaragi once found a 'good place' 「良い場所」 in being involved with the 'Korosuna' 殺すな, (do not kill) movement.)) In such conditions critical art cannot take root. <html></br></html>

Once shaken cracks in this culture of forgetting produce a semblance of shame that registers acute dissatisfaction with the past <html></br></html> and an openness to the present's encrypted futures - sometimes these cracks can provoke collaborative acts of narrative disturbance that sometimes connect with <html></br></html>
 some of the ever-present strands of dissent in Japan.
