All 6 works including, new work《JB》

I came as a relic from the outside, but the people of Yagi accepted me. Likewise, I would like to assimilate my works, which are part of myself, into this city. Just how far can one extinguish their presence and adapt? This attempt will be the exact opposite of the liveliness and revitalization expected of so-called regional art festivals. A modest yet rich landscape, as if the work had always been there. I feel that it is possible to create such a scene in this town.

《trace JII》／ 《trace FI:LI》

There are many rivers in Nantan, and people have lived alongside them since ancient times. The reason I became interested in these rivers was because I was familiar with the scenery of rivers in my own life. This time, we started our research from the Hiyoshi Dam, which is one of the major points of contact between people and rivers today. Rafting, fishing for ayu, floods, and dam construction. Through interviews, I was able to feel the closeness between the people of Nantan and the river and the way they interact with each other, which has changed over time. I thought that the way they are has a similar sense to the way people interact with each other.This work is an attempt to think about the coexistence of people and the river.

One other work will be exhibited.

《Long Vacation》

This feeling of actually living in this land, sleeping and cooking for oneself, not researching a specific local topic, but chatting with local people, looking at the river in front of my accommodation, and just spending time somewhere in the countryside; it was like a vacation with no end in sight. In this residency, against the backdrop of the current pandemic, he will attempt to approach "life and death" and "time" by drawing on his own physical senses from his experience of spending his days in the local area.
In addition to the new works mentioned above, there will also be an exhibition of past works related to the theme of this exhibition.

《はじまりの第一章》

I like folk songs. But, when was it that I started to feel comfortable with these sounds? Who was the folk singer that my grandfather listened to every day on the radio? Something that has unconsciously become a part of me. This work is about the folk song "Tamba Ondo," which has been handed down orally in Nantan for about 300 years, and visiting the place where the sound resides in the people of Nantan. At that time, there was a mysterious jester who claimed to have made the Tamba Ondo dance popular, and memories of the watchtowers in the countryside.


In addition, two new works will be exhibited.

《Yesterday's Product, Ghost Theater, yesterday’s commodity》

"Today's gift is tomorrow's product. Yesterday's goods are tomorrow's art. Today's art is tomorrow's junk. And yesterday's junk is tomorrow's heirloom."
－－Arjun Appqdurai「The Thing Itself」

In this work, we transform a hardware store in the Yagi-cho shopping district that originally opened in the Taisho era, and closed a few years ago. This store still has some of its merchandise left, and is a dark wilderness of the past. In such a place, using specially made sound and power devices, we will connect with objects such as leftovers that have lost their mission as products, and regain their social life in the new context of the exhibition's gaze. It is a theatre of ghosts, a manifestation of the "liveliness" of what has passed in the space of the everyday and the real.
