Rotating stone
In the mid-1980s, I created a device that converted the characteristics of a spinning stone into sound, and this became the starting point of my artistic practice. Since then, I have often used “rotation” as a representation of timelessness in my work. In constructing a work of art, the concept or narrative is filtered through my own filters to achieve the final form. On the other hand, the series of “rotating stones” is a work that dares to create an object in a raw state, an object before it becomes an expression, a condition in which habits and preferences have been assembled and combined, before it embodies a narrative or a concept.
