Invisible Sculpture” is a series of sculptures printed with photographs of the background that assimilate into the landscape.
The sculpture was installed in a forest in Teshikaga, based on the winter landscape of the place and a man and a horse who have pioneered this landscape. While assimilating into the landscape, the “sculptures” evoke various invisible elements of the landscape, such as the time that has passed, the lives that once existed, and the people who have been involved in the past. At the same time, the sculpture, as a cutout of time, resonates with the changing landscape, generating various time axes.
