Counterclockwise 01

Using various materials such as acrylic, original printed washi tape, aluminum tape, etc., it is a work created under the theme of “remembering forgotten words.”

In the past, in Japan, there were Japanese clocks where the hands did not move and the dial moved counterclockwise, which was the opposite of Western clocks where the hands moved clockwise.

That clock is the exact opposite of the general perception that time is flowing from the past to the future, and it represents the concept that time is flowing from the future to the past.

This is similar to “perspective memory” described in cognitive psychology, and I found it very interesting.

Based on that concept, it is a work that aims to visualize thought patterns and self-talk within the brain from the viewpoint of how reality would change if we had thrown a wish into the future in advance and decided on the future first.
