Curry Palindrome

Neko

Profile of Neko

2015年より、インドの圧倒的な解像度——言語、スパイス、地名、人名、感情——を、日本語の回文という極限の制約空間へ圧入する実践を続けている。カレー回文と呼ばれるこのコーパスは現在1,063句を超え、2人の公式の弟子を持ち、独自にこの実践を始める者も現れ始めた。2022年以降、テキストの集積をインスタレーションとして具現化し、チェコ・ブルノのイリー・マヘン図書館、東京・京島駅、広島・尾道の光明寺會館、ムンバイのKala Ghoda Arts Festivalで発表。発酵食品ブランド「Art of Pickle」の運営も手がける。Since 2015, Neko has been compressing the overwhelming resolution of India — its languages, spices, place names, people, and emotions — into the extreme constraints of Japanese palindromes. This corpus, known as Curry Palindromes, now exceeds 1,063 works. What began as a private obsession has developed its own lineage: two official disciples, and others who have independently begun the practice. Since 2022, the archive has been materialized as installation works, exhibited at the Jiri Mahen Library in Brno (Czech Republic), Kyoujima-Eki in Tokyo, Koumyoji Kaikan in Onomichi, and Kala Ghoda Arts Festival in Mumbai. He also runs Art of Pickle, a Japanese fermented food brand rooted in Indian ingredients.
