Work Details
Fossil of 20th Century
【Fossil of 20th Century 】
The art design on both walls of the platform at Kiyosumi-Shirakawa Station on the Toei Oedo Line is titled "Fossil of 20th Century "
The materials used in this artwork are recycled scraps of various industrial products that were extensively produced in Koto Ward, Tokyo's industrial area, during the period of rapid economic growth in the 20th century.
Starting from the left side of Platform 4, the artwork depicts the universe beginning with the Big Bang, followed by the galaxy, the solar system, the formation of the Japanese archipelago, and then Tokyo, the Koto district, and the subway, concluding with urban regeneration.
Additionally, starting from the left side of Platform 1, it represents the city of Tokyo, public transportation, automobiles, industry, finance, computers, love, and visions of the future."
