名古屋大学の中での学生を巻き込んで作品を制作したプロジェクト。
「あいまの時間」をテーマに、大学という空間の中での、学業以外のことを意識している時間を見つめる作品を制作した。
学生が休憩時間をよく過ごしている学内のスポットを6か所選び、そこで取材、制作を行った。

A project that involved students from Nagoya University in the creation of a work.
Focusing on the theme of "Intervals of Time," the project examined moments spent in the university setting that are not related to academic activities.
I selected six campus spots where students commonly spend their break time and conducted interviews and production work there.
Production process
その各スポットでは、新学期に「あいまの時間」を過ごしている学生や職員にインタビューし、今考えていたことを透明なカードに書いてもらう。
それを無人の写真の上に配置していく。展示会期中言葉のカードは段階的に増やしていった。
また同時に、写真部有志のサポートスタッフが撮影した取材中ののスナップと、スポットの定点観測の写真を、モニター上のスライドショーで展示した。
First, I took photos of the six spots during their off-hours when they were empty and displayed large prints of these photos in the gallery.
At each spot, I interviewed students and staff who were spending "intervals of time" during the new semester, asking them to write their current thoughts on transparent cards.
These cards were then placed over the empty photos. During the exhibition period, the number of word cards was gradually increased.
Additionally, snapshots taken by volunteer staff from the photography club during the interviews and photos of the spots taken for fixed-point observations were displayed as a slideshow on a monitor.
