Sewing between worlds

During an artist residency at Uzosanso Villa, I encountered a torii gate beside Mt. Uzosan, a mountain long regarded as sacred. Traditionally, a torii marks the boundary between the everyday and the sacred. Using archival photographs of local people who worked at the shrine and in the mountains, I stitched together photographs from either side of the gate.
宇曽山荘でのアーティスト・イン・レジデンス中、信仰の対象として崇められてきた宇曽山の麓に立つ鳥居に着目した。神社や山で働いていた地域の人々のアーカイブ写真を用い、鳥居の両側を写した写真を縫い合わせた。
