Description

A site-specific installation transferring the surfaces of a red-brick office building onto washi paper

This work used frottage with washi paper and graphite to transfer textures from the walls and floors of the former Tokyo Rope Manufacturing Kokura Plant's red-brick office building. The collected sheets were rearranged inside the building, allowing the memory of the industrial architecture to emerge like a removed 'skin.' Time inscribed in the architecture is presented as a tactile landscape.

Description

赤煉瓦事務所棟の表面を和紙へ写し取ったサイトスペシフィック・インスタレーション

旧東京製綱小倉工場赤煉瓦事務所棟の壁や床の凹凸を、和紙と黒鉛によるフロッタージュで写し取った作品。採集した紙片を建物の内部に再配置し、産業建築の記憶を、剥がされた「皮膚」のように浮かび上がらせた。建築に刻まれた時間を、触覚的な風景として捉えている。
