About the Residency ExhibitionThis Artist in residence, I went looking for sculptures and monuments in nature.I researched stone monuments that are connected to nature or real stone, bronze statues that have disappeared and returned, places where only the base remains without the statue, monuments whose names have been changed. The history between Japan and Taiwan is deep, and some things remain, some do not, and I was able to see all these different realities only now. The "Sock Monkey," which can go on a journey with used socks, is my sculptural and monumental work. Why not take this exhibition as an opportunity to go on a monument journey with Sockmonkeys?
這次，我在台南尋找自然中人為創造的雕塑和紀念碑。 有與自然相連的石碑，或者真正的石頭而非人造石碑，乃至消失又重現的銅像，抑或只有基座 卻沒有雕像的地點，以及被改變名稱的碑。台灣與日本的歷史連結深厚，有些痕跡仍然存在， 有些則已消失，正是此刻，我們能夠看到各種現實。對我來說，能夠和舊襪子一起出發旅行的 「襪猴子」是我的雕塑及紀念碑作品。藉由這次展覽，讓我們一起踏上紀念碑的旅程吧!
今回、台南では自然の中にある作られた彫刻や記念碑を探しに行きました。 自然の繋がりがある石碑、石碑ではなく本物の石、消滅し戻ってくるブロンズ像、像はないけど台 だけが残っている場所、名前が変えられた碑、日本と台湾との歴史は深く、残っていたり、残って いなかったり、今だからこそ様々な実情を見ることができました。使った靴下と旅に出ることので きる”ソックモンキー”は私にとっての彫刻作品です。この展示をきっかけに、一緒に記念碑の旅に 出てみませんか。
