Description
The installations by the American artist Ann Hamilton incorporate the viewer as if in a play. In her work "the picture is still", the artist used a former torpedo factory at Yokosuka, a symbol-laden place in that it has been consecutively used by Japanese and American armies as a military base. In this piece, enormous amounts of local fuel; charcoal rods made of one-metre-long pieces of branches and tree trunks are suspended from the ceiling on wires of different lengths, some of them so low that viewers almost have to stoop when they walk across the hall. The oppressive heavy shadows of the dense, blackened mass of dead matter create a space filled with abysmal sadness - an image that conjures up the darker chapters of Japanese-American history. This book considers the work.
