BankART Life7 "UrbanNesting: Reinhabiting the City"

This work is a reconstruction of the ceiling painting created in 2007 at BankART Sakura-so, a lone space that existed along the Ooka River just after the removal of all illegal stores along the river and before the current Koganecho Bazaar was built. Reminiscing the memories of the short but intense time spent in the open studio space without curtains under the colorful luminous flower paintings, I will make a work that crystallizes the time back then and the time up to the present.

There are moments when the scenery we are accustomed to seeing and the stories that seem so stable are unexpectedly shifted by exercising a little bit of intuition. It is fun to walk the streets with masking tape and a pen, thinking about what shape would look best in this place or that place, just like an instant mural.
