Work Details
It is a work in which a symbolic shape with the image of an hourglass floats on a panel colored with acrylic while cutting paper with words printed on it and then folding and pasting it.
The words “it's stupid to live every day like the last day of your life” in English and the numbers 27010 days for a 10-year-old, 23360 days for a 20-year-old, and 19710 for a 30-year-old are written until the age of 80. This number shows how many days are left for each age when the average life expectancy (about 84 years) of Japanese people is considered a lifetime.
The language side expresses the mentality of people who tend to take it for granted that tomorrow comes forever, and the numbers express the lives of people who are surprisingly short and don't have as huge a number of days as expected, and the content contrasts between words and numbers.
It is a work that dares to visualize the number of days remaining and asks how to spend one day at a time when one becomes aware of the days that are not infinite.
The title Transients (Transients) means temporary visitors, short-term residents.
