Artists Statement

Media Select Programme
October 25 – November 4, Warehouse No.20, Garden Pier in port of Nagoya

The work is for audience on the sea, and supposed to be seen from ships coming into the port. The audience on the ground are alienated from the represented landscape. A concept of landscape always recall nostalgia to your mind. Since the landscape is supposed to represent the past, everyone might be alienated from that. Exempligratia: the landscape seen from the sea which meant to direct ships to the port. If you would like to simulate the gaze, you want to try the crotch peep which is a traditional appreciation method of the shore landscape. In brief, It is a story of the top and bottom of a mountain.
