Memory of Home

By Tokuko Takeshita 2017
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. https://youtu.be/mi7XyeLiKJk
