Yamamoto Motoi

Return to Sea, Project in Kyoto was over. And we went to longed-for Pontocho area! It is my dream to drink on a deck made on a riverbank of Kamogawa-river.



From the left, Mr. Takagi of the cameraman and Mr. Hota of the director, the TV station. And Saori of the friend who is to go to return the salt to the sea together tomorrow.



We went to Tokushima the next day across the bridge. The purpose is to put back salt to Naruto Strait. The whirling current was great force more than expected. The ship shook very much. The expensive camera of Takagi almost returned to the sea!. It is very dangerous!!!






Where will the salt drift now?


We observed the whirlpool from the top of the bridge. At the time of flood tide of the spring, the whirlpool grows big most. It is the timing today. A lot of people looked from the floor of the glass. However, it is me to have looked in time that is longer than anyone.

A private exhibition of Kyoto finished at the end of last month. I performed "Returned to Sea, Project in Kyoto" on 15th. 40 people came for a project. Thank you!

Salt Project, "Returned to Sea"

I perform a project "Return to Sea" on the last day of the exhibition. I and the assenter of this project return the salt which is the material of the work to the sea after the exhibition end. The photograph which appeared in here was photographed by an assenter, and it was sent back by an E-mail.

"The form as the work disappears. However, this salt dissolves in seawater and will support the life of various creatures. Possibly the opportunity when we eat it may come. Of course it is the best joy for me if it can meet again as material of the works."










The center is Naomi of the owner, eN-arts. They are Miyuki (left) and Akiko (right) of the staff. They kept my work. Thank you very much for wonderful space and encounter !

I am finally return to Japan. But I go to Hamburg first. Here, there are a lot of friends. Ten people gathered tonight. It was a really tight schedule this time. I was not able to eat out. But, It is German food tonight! I thoroughly enjoyed cooking and beer. Delicious ...!




Then we climbed St. Michel. There is a bar there!!!



And I return to Japan. I was affected by the volcano of Iceland for some reason, and the airplane was almost empty probably because there were few people who made a voyage to the Europe recently. Japan is a rice-transplanting season.
