I am speaking Japanese.

This work records how Japanese language breaks and changes when it is conveyed by people who are not familiar with Japanese.

I made this work when I stayed in Geneva.

Process of this work

1. I ask local people who can speak French to listen to Japanese words.

2. They dictate Japanese sounds as exactly as possible.

3. They read their dictation.

4. The next person listens to the sounds on the voice recording in which the former person read their dictation.

 

It's like a broken phone (Arabic phone)

At that time, 86 persons participated in this experiment.
