手で掴み、形作ったものは、その途中で崩れ始めた。最後に痕跡は残るのだろうか。 02_ライオン @ 糸島芸農 / Created by the grasp of hands, it began to crumble in the midst of formation. What would remain as its traces…? 02_Lion @ Itoshima Arts Farm
2023年10月下旬に開催される糸島国際芸術祭・糸島芸農2023「共同体/共異体」にゲストアーティストとして招聘いただいたことをうけて、6月中旬に糸島で3日間リサーチを行いました。
1日目は、海と陸との境界領域という糸島半島が持つ場所性や大陸との繋がりに焦点を当てて、地元の歴史家の方と一緒にいくつかのポイントを巡りました。2日目は、糸島在住の植物に詳しい方を訪問し、糸島に自生する植物やその利用方法や効能についてお聞きしました。最終日の3日目は、海から糸島半島を捉えるために船に乗り近くの姫島に行きました。

I was invited as the guest artist for the Itoshima International Art Festival “Itoshima Arts Farm 2023”, which would take place in late October 2023. In June, I visited Itoshima and spent three days there, conducting research with the curatorial team for the work I would show in the festival. On the first day, guided by a local historian, we toured several sites, focusing on the Itoshima Peninsula’s geographical characteristics as a boundary area between sea and land, and its connection to the continent. On the second day, we visited a local botanical expert and learnt about plants native to Itoshima and their uses and benefits. On the third and the final day, we took a boat to the nearby Himejima Island to see the Itoshima Peninsula from the sea.
