コロナ禍中以前読みさしてそのままにしていた鴨長明著、方丈記を再読する。草庵生活の一遍に込められた無常観と、ありありとした今を生きる自分自身の現在時間との重なりを見つめるために始めた日記のようなワーク。一週間に２、３回外出自粛中の家の中を歩いて撮影して回る。仕事や展示イベントの予定も全て流れ社会や経済の動きが鈍化していく一方こうして自室を毎日逍遥しながら感覚は反比例してより鋭くなり、見え・聴こえとその輪郭のぼやけについて何か喉に刺さった魚の骨のような引っかかりを感じ始める。方丈記に記された無常、知足そしてコロナ禍によるこれまでの社会構造、自分自身の身体知覚についての違和感と気づきを表現したいと思った。 In the midst of the Covid-19 disaster, I re-read Hojoki, a book by Chomei Kamo that I had previously read and kept as is. I started this work like a diary, in order to look at the overlap between the view of impermanence contained in the "So-an" life and the present time of my own life as it happens. I walked around my house two or three times a week during my self-imposed refrain from going out and took photographs. On the one hand, while the social and economic movements have slowed down with the flow of all the work and exhibition schedules, my senses have become inversely proportional and sharper as I flounder around my room every day, and I begin to feel a tugging at the blur of vision, hearing and its contours like a fish bone in my throat. I wanted to express the impermanence described in the Book of Horatio, the knowledge of what is enough, and Covid-19's discomfort and awareness of my own body perception and the social structure of the past.
