...launching of the Tokyo Maru symbolized a major change in the nature of Japan's long-buoyant economy. Japan lives by trade, and for years that trade was produced chiefly by its light industry, which flooded world markets with cameras, transistor radios and miniature TV sets.

She juxtaposes two-and three-dimensional images, real glasses with the painted tux of a three-faced butler, even installing a tiny, working transistor television set in the forehead of a female figure. For The Visit, she left something more of herself, putting her own purse-minus only her keys and wallet-into the playful setting...
