| Concept | 大きな長方形の鉄の函が、空中にぽっかり浮かびながらかすかに揺らいでいる風景は、遠目の不思議さと同時に、人生の悠揚迫らぬ存在みたいなものも想い起こさせる。タイトルは異なるとはいえ、これも堅固な鉄の函と、風ないしは風景空間との、異質なもの同士のドッキング（融合）と呼んでいいだろう。鏡面磨きのステンレス支柱がまわりの風景を映すことによって存在を無化され宙空の鉄の函だけが効果的に目立つことになる。ワイヤーを編んだ特殊な釣り下げ装置を内蔵することで風に揺らぐ。 The scenery featuring a large rectangular iron box, floating midair and faintly swaying in the air, strikes us with the sense of wonder but at the same time reminds us of our life, calmly and complacently present. The title may be different, but this piece is another merger (docking) of opposite elements – the solid iron, the moving wind, and the landscape. Because the mirror-polished stainless-steel pillar blends and disappears in the surrounding landscape, the presence of the iron box hanging midair singularly stands out. A specially designed hanging device made of knitted wires is incorporated within the structure to generate the swinging motion. |
