Work Details

The developing paper is blackened by the light, covering everything.

A ray of light drifting through it was like a creature drifting in water.

The trees did not decide on the arrangement of their leaves and branches to create sunlight through the trees, but people saw the beauty in the sunlight that spilled through the gaps between them.

Similarly, the arrangement of the three-dimensional objects and materials produced different events depending on the light.

This was done using photograms to extract light onto photographic paper. The solidity of the material of the sculpture is transformed and it appears as if it is a different organic creature. Another event relates to another event, which in turn leads to another event, which in turn leads to another event.

The sequence of these events is an important part of the events that make up this world, and that make each other up.
