No matter how exceptional a work of art may be, if it is never seen by anyone, neither genius nor artist exists in this world.

Some, like Van Gogh or Henry Darger, became known only after death. But behind them are countless “nameless artists.” Traces of their creativity, never known to anyone, left behind as they continued to create.

These works are never displayed in museums, nor do they remain in memory. They are occurrences in a closed-off world, asleep beneath a thousand nights.

どれほど卓越した作品を描いたとしても、誰にも見られなければ、天才も芸術家も、この世界には存在しない

ゴッホやヘンリー・ダーガーのように、死後に名が知られた者もいる。だが、その陰にも無数の「名もなき芸術家」たちがいる。彼らが描き続けてきた、誰にも知られることのなかった創作の痕跡たち

それは、美術館に飾られることもなく、記憶にさえ残らない。千の夜に眠る、閉ざされた世界での出来事
