Giving a form to natural sound is the work to see the sound of nature in Japan. I collected sounds of all sorts and tried creating a forest out of the sounds of nature alone. I make those sounds of nature flow from a unit in which I have attached threads to speakers. The sounds travel along the threads, which begin to move like the forest itself. We can see and touch the invisible sounds of nature. A forest that we had failed to notice appears.


日本の自然の四季の音を可視化、触覚化した作品。日本人は自然をモチーフとした多くの美術作品を制作してきた。私達は現実の自然と模倣された自然の鑑賞と制作を通して美的感覚や心を育ててきたのかもしれない。この作品は「心は聴覚的感覚から形成されたのではないか。」という養老孟司の見解を元に、自然を愛でた日本の心の形成を自然の音から想像できないかという実践的作品。
