Season of housecleaning, garbage problem to think from Shibuya! ?

• シェア

When it comes to the end of the year, anaerobic refers to the nature of their own things can not be discarded.

... Maybe because it is often regret from either, or discarded because remember the attachment to things.

For example, ticket, still train ticket that contains the scissors of time that has not been the introduction of the automatic ticket gate, also there will be a much 1000 in the home now. Old matchbox, which contains the name of the cafe's name or diner. Then the bookstore of the book cover, of licking cat driver's license, socks with holes, PowerMac7200, 2000 years of the calendar, DM of Ginza graphic gallery, what took forgotten disposable camera, free not to re-read paper, free of the jam bottle···,

Oh yeah, then it is the receipt!

In the gallery Con seal until the end of last week, exhibition of Izumi artist Takada of Hiroshima residents has been carried out. There was a installation that uses a large amount of the receipt to one of the works in it. Takada is an artist, that were collected indeed 10,000 or more sheets of receipt gotten the cooperation of friends. Softly like a feather, receipt completely covering the gallery space. Crunch and may be walking on it, good I was raised holy at once to the air to lift up both hands full ....
Receipt of as a by-product of mass consumption, in short, but it is useless, economy, say record of human self-interest is the only gather and indescribably highlight this.

Not afford the 10,000 sheets indeed, but I do not also why discarded receipt.
Of course, but is not leaving all of the receipt, the receipt of ramen shop was stopped in Asahikawa of traveling alone, Fuji Tomoe Museum of receipt in the eight Go first, receipt of the hotel that we stayed in Montreal, in Shibuya 12 months building receipt of the date of confession to favorite co at a cafe ....
Recorded date in there, order the goods, price, number of people..., Receipt is meaning for me, is the presence, such as a diary, that day had been forgotten, that revive the vivid memories of that place you might say that what can be.

Also Speaking of garbage, now, "Vik Muniz" Beautiful Earth "Exhibition" is being held at Tokyo Wonder Site. That was produced in conjunction with the people engaged in the work of cleaning in the garbage treatment plant "Jajin Glamour cane" in Rio de Janeiro, works made of dust, equivalent to a 2-screen portion of basketball court is, and surely surprise to those who watch It gives the impression.
I found a video of Mr. Vik Muniz in youtube.





Also for more information, so I will introduce also a feature article on this site of next week Tuesday update schedule, please see.

Well, anyway, do you and the end of the year of this year, reducing a little more things ....
