“Haiku Moment”

Photography by Yamamoto Masao

My Installation

When looking at my installation, I would like the viewer not to try to understand. Rather, as a landscape, for example, please just view or take a look. Haiku Moment is a translation of the moment when a haiku takes shape, and it is probably a moment that comes to you suddenly, striking your feelings. Likewise, my installation often reveals its story in front of my eyes at the last minute before the de-installation. It is difficult, however, to describe it by words.

私にとってのインスタレーション

私のインスタレーションを見る時に、理解しようとするのではなく、例えば、風景として観る、もしくは眺めて欲しい。俳句が出来る瞬間をHaiku Momentと訳すそうだが、それは、おそらく突然訪れ、気持ちを揺さぶる瞬間ではないかと思う。私自身も長いこと展示してあった自分のインスタレーショ ンについて、搬出の時になって「あ～そうだったのか」と物語りが見えることが、しばしばある。しかしながらそれを、言葉で表現するのは難しい。

I like the theme of threshold a lot. I feel he uses that quite often and gives a good color. It’s very dreamy.
