Trace of Memory

Documentation footage of a video installation (at night) / a participatory installation for visitors (during the day). During the day, visitors are invited to tie papers bearing their wishes to the musubi-dokoro installed at the shrine, in the manner of omikuji. This process is continuously recorded in time-lapse, and at night the footage is projected onto the same location, turning daytime visitors into part of the nighttime work. The countless papers tied by participants during the day are overlaid with images of the participants themselves, creating an installation that traces the lingering memory of objects left behind in everyday life.
Exhibited at Roppongi Art Night 2019 (at Roppongi Tenso Shrine)
