Piece concept (comment from the artist at the time of selection)

I'm creating this piece mainly with transparent materials. Transparent things themselves don't have much of a presence, and that's why I'd like to offer them some attention through their exhibition. Things that are transparent exist in a subtle manner and let you look through into the world. But with a bit of color, they slightly change the way you view the normal scenery on the other side and add color to the monochrome world of light and shadow. I utilize reversal film used in movies shown at movie theaters for my piece. In a movie theater, the light from the projector tells a story on the screen as dust dances through the air, but we watch the light through the story. I became interested in the disappearing media that is film, and incorporated it into the piece as a material that archives and makes memories in a new way.

Piece introduction

This is an installation created from light and movie film showing a score of various everyday sounds (mainly indicating time) put down as musical notes. The piece makes sound visible, and by developing it on film, past memories become new stories.
