Shinya Yoshida
Shinya Yoshida has been preserving traces of people's activities, such as the history, culture, and climate of the land, in the form of images.
In the video work presented here, a 4,000-year-old jar coffin excavated in Rokkasho Village, Aomori Prefecture, and a canister of spent fuel stored underground, awaiting technological development, are considered coffins, and the two underground coffins, one in the present and the other in the future, are crossed through imaginary dictation.
The photographs on display in the exhibition space present an unflinching portrait of the site where excavations were conducted before the large-scale development of Rokkasho Village. Starting from a jar coffin in which a woman was buried, the exhibition is structured to reweave various traces of people's activities that have continued for thousands of years and may bring to light the existence of beings that have not been revealed in history.
