A site specific installation at Kusunoki-sou.
Kusunoki-sou is located in a typical residential area commuting to central Tokyo, also the house itself is an ordinary wooden house where people used to live and went to a work.
For this installation, using fabric patterns and placed it in little crafted box as fragmental memory that the artist collected from different residences.
And a thermometer is placed in a glass-dome as a symbol image for the captured climate which I believe it triggers a memory from deep in mind.
To create a cozy and blur atmosphere as visualize 'recalling', the site's walls are all covered fluffy cloth (fake fur) and a warm light via cotton cloths from low height ceiling.
The visitor will feel free to participate the little boxes to open and re-place in the space with slightly bright light.
