[Koganecho Bazaar 2014] Cindy's fortune telling experience report!
Text & photo by akiko inoue Interview cooperation: Chise Fukaumi
The other day, I heard that Cindy Mochizuki, who was visiting Japan from Canada for Koganecho Bazaar 2014, was opening a fortune-telling house for a limited time, so she asked about the studio.
The venue is next to the 1 studio in 1.
At first, did the artist tell fortunes? ! I attended with a little bit of surprise and interest, but within a few minutes, my surprise expanded many times over, and I was treated to a turbulent 15 minutes of exhilaration and a mixture of emotions that I had never experienced before. I never thought I would spend it...
Originally, I wasn't that interested in fortune-telling, but this time I couldn't hide my surprise that fortune-telling could affect my emotions so much (!).
First of all, let me tell you that the purpose of Cindy Mochizuki's Fortune Telling House this time is to collect interviews about monsters. It seems that this will be reflected in some way in her works that will be exhibited at Koganecho Bazaar 2014. Rather than simply collecting interviews as material, she wanted the people who spoke to her to return home with a gift, so she came up with the idea of giving back to the participants through fortune-telling, which she has been doing for about 20 years. that's right.
I'm not sure if there is a professional or amateur in fortune telling, but Cindy's well-honed sense and attitude were, to put it in my humble words, completely professional.
Now, I'll start by reporting on the fortune-telling situation.
First, when you sit down, you will be asked, ``Would you like to read palm reading or tarot?''
The time is 15 minutes, so you can choose both if you have time.
First, let’s start with palm reading…
Palm reading situation
Cindy said the names and initials of people close to her. You can also tell about your current situation with that person. I was stunned by the proper nouns that came up one after another, as if they knew my everyday life...
You can also use tarot to see what will happen in the near future.
First, read the tarot while thinking about what you want to see.
I'm making a wish
And the result is...
Tarot fortune telling
Since it is a personal matter, I cannot disclose the results of my fortune telling here, but I will tell you one thing. According to my palm reading, I will live to be 78 years old. I felt encouraged by Cindy's fortune-telling, thinking that I still have a long life ahead of me, so I can do many things. I think Cindy's power to make people positive in that way is amazing.
Thank you, Cindy.
After the fortune telling, I go to the back room and answer Cindy's interview.
There is only one question in the interview. The question is , "What does a monster mean to you?"
Interview situation
The Fortune Telling Hall will only be held for the remaining two days, July 8th (Tuesday) and 10th (Thursday). (Reservations have closed)

In addition, the "stories related to monsters" collected this time will be turned into a performance piece by Cindy Mochizuki that will be held at Nitehi Works, and we will witness it during Koganecho Bazaar 2014.
I'm curious as to what kind of work it will be... so please wait for a while until it is released!
