Given without any special skill to use it, body is the principle medium of expression for Chim↑Pom, whose members except Ellie started art without any formal training, as one of the most basic tools along with execution and demonstration on the street. While Chim↑Pom has had more exposure in the exhibition space, this stance has never changed ever since the very beginning when Chim↑Pom jumped out with only a video camera and own bodies.

Five members perform a necromantic act of kokkurisan [Japanese table-turning] with a single needle on the back of Mizuno. This work serves as an example of automatic tattooing.
