    video the first half 7:47 the later half 5:33 |
| In the first half of the video, a woman follows fine thread, tangled and spread all over the floor, while untangling it and in the latter half, she lays new ribbon as she moves. The black thread in the first half symbolizes ruins of the past. When a point of the thread is lifted up, it catches on other multiple parts tangling and twining over it from diverse directions; it is not easy to carefully untangle it into order. The ribbon in the latter half symbolizes future. It is newly laid by moral, reason or constructive will. Newly placed ribbon will be worn out sometime and future will become past. | 前半の映像の中で女性は、床面に散らばり絡み合った細い糸をほぐしながら辿り、後半は真新しいリボンを撒いていく。 前半の黒い糸は過去の残骸の象徴である。一カ所をつまみあげれば、幾重にも交差し合った糸が多方向からひっかかり、それらを注意深くほぐして元の一本の糸に直すのは容易ではない。後半のリボンは未来を象徴する。モラルや理性、建設的な意思によって新たに撒かれていく。 真新しく撒かれたリボンはいずれ疲弊し、未来はやがて過去となる。 | up ↑ ← works |
