I am selfish Jesus. I have figured out the utmost essence of the world and revealed to people what I've found. I am a medium between God and people. Reading several stories like the Garden of the Eden, the Wine-Lake and Meat Forest of the Yin Dynasty, the Great Whore of the Apocalypse, and Holy Communion. I have realized that the unbreakable and fundamental energy, which established and maintains the world, is our selfish desires. Unfortunately, people hardly ever attain this knowledge because of what I call, "the skin", which wraps and hides the desire. For those blinded by "the skin", I am preparing a barbarous orgy whose name will be "Sk/in & Out",where they can fulfill every desire even if that is sexual or violent, so they don't need their "skin" anymore. The world without "the skin" includes a pond of raining red wine, grotesque, but humorous surrealistic creatures which represent our desires, waitresses who give a glass of wine and bread to viewers, and me as the Squid Woman who can grasp what she wants faster than humans because she has ten legs and innumerable suction cups. I will show the people the energy of desire, and the world without "the skin." Becoming Jesus, I will feed my guests with my flesh and blood. I hope that my orgy can help us to be freed from the prison of "the skin" that is the curse of God toward our desires, which have existed since our mother Eve took a bite of the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge.
I am "selfish" Jesus. I have an ambition to stir the whole world and possess it. I will not die. Although my body will die someday in some ways, my soul will still live on and enjoy watching my tainted flesh in a coffin.
I want to make my own universe where I can live eternally. Like gods in every kind of creation myths, I made my creatures whenever I needed whatever shapes I could enjoy. In the early times of making my universe, my creatures were only colors that stuck to papers, but as time went by and I grew older, they became more realistic bodies that were made of metal and wood. Some creatures were so aristocratic that they could move their limbs. Yes, my world is a hierarchical society.
I made My Moth (2002) when I fist came to the United States when I couldn't speak English fluently. Everything around me looked like sharp scribers and they seemed to squeeze me really hard. My Moth was a diary as well as a death decree. I made an old black television, which showed people in my social life, and whenever someone scratched my heart, I put a black or white paper cone on the television. Sometimes, I drew some symbols that indicated the person who hurt me and someday I would have revenge on them. The television soon turned into a big fat ugly moth. Moths, which rush for the light, were like me who just fled to the United States.
My recent piece, My Shrine (2005) was a self-portrait. She wore 18th century Rococo style dress and decorated herself with fans and light bulbs. She could pour tea and sing with her two breasts. The colors that I put on her dress made her blossom explosively. Goddesses from other countries swam in her skirt.
My previous works made the viewers remember me but they were not in my reign. The viewers only saw my work but they couldn't come inside. Now, I want to make viewers stay in my world. I desire to be God of not only my creatures but also my viewers.
I want my viewers to come into my world. In the world without "the skin", I will let them enjoy the riches of eating bread and drinking the red wine. Also, I will allow them to dance with my figures. I will be a mighty God in the space and time of the orgy.
I am selfish Jesus who makes the kinetic creatures to dictate the world. I am human but sometimes I am God. As the blood and flesh of Jesus changed the whole world, my creatures will do the same things to the world. Others will remember me as an icon and I will keep resurrecting in their minds forever.
