Fire on the opposite shore

Comment

Approximately 200 sheets of trial drawing papers for my pen drawings were exhibited as an art work.

The assemblage of the lines that I had unconsciously drawn looked like a blazing flame, so I likened the by-product of his work, which was created independently of his own intentions, to a scene of fire that occurred somewhere far away.

To exhibit this art work, a pair of rain shutters, which can be found in ordinary apartments in Italy, were installed on the wall, and trial drawings were pasted between them, so that it looks as if flames are flying out of the window.
