Polyester film, Wire

私たちは、自分の“身体”と、その周囲に存在する“物”、そしてそれらを取り巻く“空間”というように、身体を中心とした様々な要素を別個のものとして捉えている。しかし、先住民族が森の中で草木の衣服を身に付けるように、人・物・空間、本来それらは分け隔てられるものではなく一体である。

This work is an installation that raises these questions in relation to the natural environment. A human body printed on film is put together like a puzzle, and the 12-meter sculpture shows how the pieces of the body gradually split apart towards the back. The human body splitting apart among the trees and the foreign nature of the work itself reflect the undefined distance between the human body and nature.

Body

We regard various elements in our daily life as independent things, such as our “body”, “things” around us, and “space” between them. However, our body, things, and space are, originally indivisible. This work presents that forsaken notion to us.

I printed human body on polyester film, cut them into pieces, and folded them into a petal-like shape. I spread the pieces in order to express the process in which the human body is being gradually dissolved.
