小学校の展示は教室というシステムを使った「劇場性」を持った展示になったと思います。また、教室内に使用した備品はアコーディオン、算数の図形などを説明する模型、秋田のお盆で使われる「お盆とうろう(トロンコ)」などを配置し、抽象的な事柄を表現するものを意識しました。
会期:2015年8月1日~9月13日(日)
会場:上小阿仁村、沖田面会場(秋田県秋田郡)

I have stayed for 10 days at Kamikoani Village, a tiny village in deep deep mountain in Akita in the north part of Japan to take new works for the series of photography taken inside the homes of elderly people The Game Keeper’s Jam Cellar. The show is using an abolished school. There is a hint of theater setting in the installation.
In Kamikoani, it is so far out so that the old tradition of Tohoku still remains. The village is famous for natural ceder. Though the straight lines made by artificial ceders are also bless taking. People are really shay and warm; it was really touching experience to meet them. Will be a good summer trip. If you are lucky, you might see bears.
Exhibition: 1 Aug - 13 Sep 2015
Venue: Okita-omote venue, Kamikoani Village (Akita-gun Akita-ken)
