Perfect Harbor Day
The Port of Yokohama is a transitional space between the ancient and the modern. By revisiting the past and present of the Nippon Maru and Hikawa Maru, mirror images of history are pieced together. By using symbols of historical images to link memories together, and combining collage materials that are available at the sites now, meanings are transformed, landscapes shift and change, and history is traversed like waves on the ocean through an ever-changing time.
