Exhaling from the Kiwa

A panorama projection and an installation are composed in two locations within the precincts of Tochoji Temple.
The panorama projection consists of cityscapes and riverbeds photographed with different long-exposure times in the dark.
The installation consists of fragmental texts derived from dialogue and thoughts in the fieldwork
and stones collected by shooting as an installation at the urban water’s edge.

This exhibition will be shown to the public for three days only as if it were an accumulation of soil flowing from upstream.

A public talk will be held during the exhibition.
