) | Works from three field-research-based projects in fishing villages, Arnemuiden (2004-2006), Kubotsu (2007-2008) and the remote island of Awashima (2013), are placed into a space, in a playful manner, where they become a new scenery.
'Bread holding girl' (water memory mapping / 2005), 'a raccoon dog the little boy'(i saw a dream of Kubotsu. / 2008), ‘floater’ (MIRRORED MEMORIES / 2009), 'Satchan' (Satchan's midnight garden / 2009) and 'Kokiriko and Akaoni (Hamano Oinarisan a pine wood tale / 2013) are fictive figures which derive themselves from reality. What if 'bread holding girl' from Arnemuiden meets 'Kokiriko and Akaoni' in a deep pine forest surrounded by Japanese Inland Sea? Where would such an encounter lead their journey?
