Uchiboso Hyakunengo Art Festival : Environment and Desire
”Plant Museum”
2024.3.23-5.26
Participated in the "Satomi Plant Museum", held in a former elementary school. Within a space layering the rural landscape and industrial scenery of Ichihara, paintings from the HOUSE series and video works were presented. Architectural motifs developed in the virtual world were placed within a site carrying industrial memory, creating a situation where the local landscape and the artist’s imagery intersect. The work attempts to open a space in which a landscape emerges through layers of time embedded in the land.

The "Satomi Plant Museum" is a museum based on the motif of Ichihara's factory nightscape, set in the Satoyama, a primeval landscape of Ichihara. The industrial area was established in the 1960s on Ichihara's bayside. The factories, which have been operating tirelessly without rest for over 60 years, have now become one of Ichihara's iconic landscapes. The artist's works, which have an industrial essence, are on display inside the gymnasium.
