Bridge as a Fragment 1998 / 55 Mercer Fence, a Border, Boredom　2001 It can be said that when we focus on something and gaze on it, we have no choice but to have our attention caught by its background. Then, the afterimage which is also the vague background can be memorized instead of the center of we focused. If the accumulated background gives us some effects on our later visual experiences. It slips down when we try to watch it. We can find the landscapes through the fences, as a result of our trial to visualize the mechanism of the slid vision in which we call “image”. In this project, it is constructed from the stood papers as screens, and that is bringing the short circuit between the reality and the image. When the similar images from Tokyo and Cologne are projected on the both sides of the papers, the vestiges of “image” can be surfaced. You can re-experience it as a slow motion in this installation. Fence, the weakest form of the borders. Nowadays, it has become difficult to see any borders in the so-called borderless world, therefore, the visible borders make us insecure, then, the feelings are going to be re- projected strongly to the temporary screens in order to escape from the no-perspective world, that is the fear of boredom. Thus, we can reach “boring flatness” by avoiding “flat boredom.” When we recognize that, the meanings of this installation shift the other context. Is that the passage for universality or its last moments?
