“Chikatsu Asuka Fudoki no Oka” wakes up and develops pulsating scene here

​

Wind passing by gives noises to the leaves of the trees and makes them dance and clear up roads. This way, the appearance of “Chikatsu Asuka Fudoki no Oka” changes itself.
These are many ancient tombs here, where at one rooms are safely wrapped up by the fragrance of woods, sounds made by the nature and tender sunlights coming through leaves. Every existing factor influences each other and is unified in the end, by which this land seems to roar and live through.

In the darkness people rarely see, the buried relics have pulsated for long ages being mixed with soil, water and air, and have secretly changed themselves. You get surprised with the development of the fact that iron getting rusty tried to get back to itself. In this way, “Chikatsu Asuka Fudoki no Oka” not only has secret atmosphere which leads itself to the “golden land” but also has a variety of energy involved in it.

Here, we exhibit the installation which consists of huge panoramic photo. Mainly, soundscape, video and molding, trying just like to catch real live “Chikatsu Asuka Fudoki no Oka” alive. And also, here, we hold a workshop to find lovely scene though the frame made of small stones. This activity leads to the one as if ancient people looked at it from the stoneroom in the tombs, through which we’d like to create. The stage on which we show the performance of the wake-up of “Chikatsu Asuka Fudoki no Oka”.

The exhibition this time characterizes itself as unification of art space and ※archaeological material at academic exhibition. By exhibiting the archaeological materials, art archaeology start asking you these questions. How do you approach ancient days and how do you feel in depth?
