The journey of
stones, mountain

<<

Performance for “The journey of stones, mountain.”
I turned the player with my hand. The repetitive motion to play the record without stagnation is a metaphor for “labor.” The process of the needle gradually scraping the surface of the vinyl record represents “time,” “oblivion,” and “ever-changing state.” Coincidentally, a diamond grinder on display at a local museum looks like a record player. It is an homage to former workers’ times and all kinds of labor.
