This work, which consists of drawings, graphics, three-dimensional visualizations and images taken in the industrial spaces, margins, borders and undefined areas of Tokyo, focuses on the life relations within the urban sphere, the spontaneously emerged plants of the city and the new ecosystem that blurs the distinction between nature and the city.
In the multi-channel video installation, elements from infrastructure systems, industrial pieces of abstract shapes, rubbles and ruderal plants which start to grow in ruins and barren lands, to eventually invade certain areas, are presented along with graphics and texts referring to traditional gardening techniques. While the unique aesthetic principles of Japanese gardening are sought in this strange new nature of the city, the historical memory of plants and rocks, the change over time and what they represent today are discussed.
Images that are presented as collage in terms of composition and content, as we try to point out the traditional in the new, actually reveal the impossibility of differentiations such as conventional and modern, nature and city, human and other creatures, and exhibit a hybridity that is necessary due to the nature of culture and biology.
