Traces
有楽町のビル屋上にはビオトープがある。そこは皇居の森の延長として、鳥や虫たちが行き交い、腐敗した植物や有機物からヘドロや土が生まれている。自然の現象は都市環境にも等しく影響し、代謝や循環の力学は常に存在している。本作では、新有楽町ビルと新国際ビルの屋上で採集したヘドロや土、落ち葉などをYAU STUDIOに持ち込み、サイアノタイプと呼ばれる技法でイメージに定着。有楽町ビルを照らす太陽光によって、近代の都市空間において潜在化・不可視化されてきた土の存在や、土を生み出す植物の痕跡を可視化した。

Traces
There is a biotope on the rooftop of some buildings in Yurakucho. As an extension of the Imperial Palace forest, it is a place where birds and insects come and go, where sludge and soil are created from decaying plants and organic matter. These natural phenomena affect the urban environment equally, and the dynamics of metabolism and circulation are ever present. In this work, sludge, soil and fallen leaves collected from the rooftops of the Shin-Yurakucho Building and the Shin-Kokusai Building were brought to the YAU STUDIO and fixed into the image using a technique known as the Cyanotype. The sunlight illuminating the Yurakucho Building made visible the existence of soil, which has been hidden or made invisible in modern urban spaces, and the traces of plants that produces soil.
