"Chord"

This place is a twisting factory that is still in operation today, and silk threads are spun by the factory's twisting machine during the exhibition period. It is not only a place to display works, but also a place to work.

Fishing line, which are strongly affected by light, change their appearance in the morning and afternoon. When the light is backlit, the thread shines white, creating a strong contrast with the shadow of the loom, and at sunrise and sunset, the thread shines orange. The warp threads of large and small looms are stretched from beam to beam in the image of weaving a building. The rhombus that appears in the warp threads of the large loom is a pattern created by this building, which was created by crossing the trajectories of the warp threads of the two looms.

「琴線」- 大地の芸術祭 2022 -

この場所は現在も稼働している撚糸工場で、展示期間中も手前の撚糸機では絹糸が撚られる。作品展示の場であると同時に仕事場でもある。

光の影響を強く受ける漁業用テグスは、午前・午後で見え方が変化する。逆光の時は糸が白く輝いて織機の影との強いコントラストが、また、朝焼けや夕日では糸が橙色に輝く。大小織機の経糸は、建物を織るイメージで梁から梁へ渡され、大型織機の経糸に現れる菱形は、２台の織機の経糸の軌道を交差させることによって生まれた、この建物が作り出した模様である。
