人間なりの弔い ミクストメディア 18分32秒 ループ オルタナス 秋田
This installation was created inside a disused truck container. An abandoned refrigerator was filled with cotton, and throughout the winter, I collected and placed discarded trash inside it.
The metal debris I found was deformed and distorted in shape due to corrosion. In the video, I am shown continuously scrubbing away the layers of rust that have clung to these objects over time.
