Message
from the Artist
I
have been selected to show my work in the Japan Pavilion at the 56th
International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale in Italy in 2015. It is a
great honor for me to be given the opportunity to participate in the world's
oldest exhibition along with the curator Hitoshi Nakano, who organized a solo
exhibition of my work in Kanagawa in 2007. Using the second-floor gallery and
the pilotis on the first floor of the pavilion, I will present a new
installation titled "The Key in the Hand," consisting of two boats,
red yarn, and a huge number of keys.
Keys
are familiar and very valuable things that protect important people and spaces
in our lives. They also inspire us to open the door to unknown worlds. With
these thoughts in mind, in this new installation I would like to use keys
provided by the general public that are imbued with various recollections and
memories that have accumulated over a long period of daily use. As I create the
work in the space, the memories of everyone who provides me with their keys
will overlap with my own memories for the first time. These overlapping
memories will in turn combine with those of the people from all over the world
who come to see the biennale, giving them a chance to communicate in a new way
and better understand each other's feelings.
I
would be extremely grateful if you would consider giving me a key that you no
longer need so that I can use it as part of this work. Then I hope that
everyone will be inspired by the work, containing an accumulation of memories
from all over the world, to reconsider what it means to be alive.
