Art collaboration between face and Sesame Street. Bert and Ernie figurines interpreted by face will be released.

The TV program "Sesame Street," which has been broadcast in Japan since the 1970s, was somehow different from other Japanese programs, offering an opportunity to feel a foreign country even as a child. Bert and Ernie, who appeared as close friends on the TV screen, would become memorable representations of Sesame Street especially for “face.”

In this work, Bert and Ernie with face's iconic facial expressions are posed in the same pose as if to express their close friendship.

This work is a fusion of the “past,” the memories that face felt at the time, and the “present,” where he has found his main method of expression as an artist.
