Satsuki IMAI

A participatory art work. That imitates a mountain on the outside and a cave on the inside. Participants can go inside the work and experience making flowers while sharing their memories and stories of loved ones with artists and others. The viewer creates each flower by stacking thin papers called flower papers in this space. There are no particular rules on how to make it, and each participant relies on his or her own memory and imagination to make it. In addition, while the artist is resident on the spot, we will make flowers together and listen to the story. The finished flower goes into the cave or the mountain outside, and if participants think it's okay to get out of this cave, they climb the ladder to breathe in the outside air and get out of the cave. With the participation of the participants, the number of flowers in this work will gradually increase, and the work will change. This work was created with the idea that the scenery could be changed by the small actions of people.
