“Japan allows you to think loudly in silence”
Fagan developed his initial series of experimental sculptures and public performances
Chairs Are People while in residency at Arts Itoya in Japan. He traveled to Japan at a point of exhaustion, seeking the space to rediscover his own capabilities and potential. Through slow and thoughtful explorations of the city, language, and culture that surrounded him, Fagan found a sense of security and the space for experimentation. On the first day arriving at the residency studio, he noticed a group of 10 chairs, and saw these chairs as a potential new medium through which he could showcase his perspective.
