About the work
そのような、パブリックな空間での些細でプライベートな瞬間をわざと作ることによって、小さく無意識的な要素が人の意識や場の 空気に与える影響を見つめるプロジェクト。
このプロジェクトでは、最初に空き地や公園で対象者に実際に「ぼんやりと」過ごしてもらい、その時感じたことをインタビューした。
さらに、そのインタビューを元に小さなシナリオを作り、後日同じ場所で演技してもらったものを撮影した。
作品となったものはその写真、ビデオ、シナリオで構成されている。
When we take a break in a park or wait idly for something at a station or plaza, we often experience moments of doing nothing in an outdoor space. During such times, people may feel a sense of unease or, conversely, a sense of liberation, and their moods continuously shift like the direction of the wind. This project aims to explore the impact of these small, unconscious elements on human awareness and the atmosphere of a place by intentionally creating such subtle, private moments in public spaces.
In this project, participants were first asked to "be absent minded" in vacant lots or parks, and then interviewed about what they felt during those moments. Based on these interviews, small scenarios were created, which the participants later reenacted at the same locations. The resulting work is composed of photographs, videos, and the scenarios.
