祭りの終わり際、神輿から御霊を返す際の切り火が、深く脳裏に焼き付いた。

地域・民俗的な違いが色濃く現れる場でありながら、同時に人類共通の原始的な感覚も露わとなる。逗子の祭りに垣間見たそれを切り取りとった。

普段は干物作りに用いられる逗子の小坪漁港で野外展示された本作は、地域に根付く文化を保存するかの如く、真空パックされた無数の写真郡が風に揺れる。作品の背景に広がる海は、時とともに変化し続け、写真に収められた地域の信仰に関わる景色と静かに呼応する。

At the end of the festival, the fire that was lit when the spirit was returned from the portable shrine was deeply etched in my mind.

While regional and folkloric differences are strongly evident, at the same time the primitive senses common to all humankind are also revealed. I caught a glimpse of this at a festival in Zushi.

 

The work was exhibited outdoors at Zushi's Kotsubo fishing port, which is normally used for making dried fish, and countless vacuum-packed photographs sway in the wind, as if to preserve the culture rooted in the area. The sea in the background of the work continues to change over time, quietly echoing the landscape of the local beliefs captured in the photographs.
