ある場や土地に滞在したとき、そこの景色を感じ人々の暮らしを眺めながら現在に至るまでの歴史や文化を、土地に遺された遺構や民具、ときには伝聞や物語を探すことで私なりに遡行したりして、かつての人々を想像する。それは情緒的であったり、時には大きな力に翻弄されていたり、政治的であったり。
現在と過去、それらをリンクさせなにかを顕在化することで今を生きることを考えたい。
Let me explain how I feel whenever I create my work at the location where an exhibition is to take place.
I breathe the scenery and feel the life of people on site.
The next phase is that of looking for clues such as remains of entities, different types of tools, a whole range of folk tales and myths. Through these aspects I am able to trace back the history and culture of people, thus expressing the present and the past, giving more than just a passing thought to the livelihood of days gone by.
No matter how much harsh time and hardship people might have encountered, a sign and trace of their daily activities and their love for family would somehow manifest themselves. This is common throughout all ages.
The present and the past, this side and that side, whereby this world “Shigan” and the other world “Higan” (i.e. where there are the spirits of dead people), speak volumes about their own existence.
Whether one talks about the passing of time, the traversing of borders or race, let us cross them over in the spirit of linking them together. Once that is done, then we may hold on to this moment, and in solidarity, ponder upon the meaning of life and daily activities.
Otherwise we do not realise that the powerful stream of time carries us away from this moment.
