Soilstory – つちがたり –

Tools, images, relics, video and dirt

Variable dimensions

“We created this work focusing on the voices of historic objects. Research conducted on the local farming ritual “Ae no Koto” along with memories, dialogue and exchanges with local residents and relics obtained from diverse collections are integral parts of this “Soilstory” installation. Two live performances were held during the triennial simultaneously online and in person to work creatively with distances between people and things during a pandemic, thus in the retelling of soil stories spaces for shared wishes towards the future emerge.”
