Work Details
This work is a footbath that uses the fermenting heat of fallen leaves, created by an artist who says, “living is continuing to produce heat.” Visitors warm their feet through heat produced by the microbes existing on the leaves, while enjoying the view of Omachi from the front window. It becomes a place for reflection on yourself and the microbes, the various factors that contribute to our activities, and their correlations.
