Work Details

Concept and Intention of the Artwork

First, anonymous traces left on the street, such as graffiti on walls and traces of paint that are about to disappear, are recorded in photographs.

They are fragments of conscious expression and unconscious action, and they are like poems stored in a city. Whose

But it's a poem engraved in a city that doesn't belong to anyone. I cut out fragments of this photo and accumulated my own memories and feelings

Combine it with fragments of drawings, which can also be called. This process picks up countless words scattered throughout the city

It is also an act of collecting and reorganizing poems in a new context. The ladder in the title is a symbol of connecting different spaces

It is an image, and it is a word that expresses the act of connecting between individuals and others, and opposing things called past and present in the work

I'm using it. By putting up a ladder, I capture the moment when the boundaries of opposing elements blend together, and create new stories and feelings

It aims to create. Also, the multi-layered nature of cities is described as resistance to “clean cities” that are being homogenized

It is questioning our own existence as subjects who rediscover memories and reread cities.
