Work Details

二条城の台所入り口の土間から、板張りの床上段に上がると、壁一面に映像が流れている。この作品は「方丈記」の無常観をテーマにしたもので、天候とランドスケープ、そして天災のダイナミックな関係が絵巻物のようなアスペクト比のなかで生成され続けるプログラム映像とサウンドスケープによるインスタレーション作品である。

＊方丈記：約800年前に鴨長明によって書かれた随筆。日本最古の災害ルポルタージュとも言われる。

As you step up onto the raised floor of the kitchen entrance at Nijo-jo Castle, you can see a video projected onto the entire wall. Based on the theme oflife as something transient and empty, taken from Kamo no Chomei's Hojoki (Visions of a Torn World), this installation with a soundscape and computer-generated video depicts the dynamic relationship between weather, the landscape, and natural disasters, continuously generated in an aspect ratio that is similar to that of a horizontal emaki picture scroll.

Hojoki : An essay written by Kamo no Chomei about 800 years ago. It is said to be Japan's oldest disaster reportage
