空白の翼廊

ぜひご来場のうえ、両作家による表現世界をご堪能ください。
自身の作品に建築に通ずる美意識を見出し、木や石を削り続けて長い年月を過ごしてきた。
やがて、一人の通行人が現れ男に尋ねた。
「これは何の記録ですか？」
「わからない。ただ、書き続けている。」
通行人は本を一冊手に取り、ぱらぱらとめくる。
「これは記録ではなく、空白ですね。」
男は答えなかった。
「あなたの仕事は、いつ終わるんです？」
「終わりはない。」
「では、あなたも書架の一部になっていくんですね。」
目が覚めると、男は奇妙な焦燥感に駆られた。何かを作らなければならない。だが何を作るべきか分からない。
ただ、夢の中の世界がどこかに存在するような気がしてならなかった。
六十歳を目前にしたある日、男が丘の上でデッサンをしていると頭上から二羽の鳥が落ちてきた。
いや、鳥ではない。見事な鳥が彫られた石だった。石は男のすぐ目の前にぼてっと落ち、
一方の鳥の片翼は砕けていた。男は頭を上げてみたがそこに広がるのは広大な青空だけだった。

“ Empty Transept ”
The man was a sculptor. He had once aspired to be an architect, inspired by his grandfather, but ultimately found himself fascinated by sculptures. He discovered an aesthetic in his own work that was similar to architecture, and spent many years chipping away at wood and stone. However, he felt uncomfortable. He had been creating his works for something—or someone—but he could not remember what that “something” was.
One day, he had a dream. In this dream, pillars stood in rows, arches intersected, and walls stretched on endlessly. Looking up, he saw no ceiling and there were no doors or windows in the walls, yet light poured down from somewhere. No, it was not a wall. It was an endless stack of books. The bookshelves were lined with countless volumes, all of which contained drawings and blueprints of his sculptures. Some of them contained records that the man did not even know about. Soon, a passerby appeared and asked him,
“What are these records for?”
“Who knows? I just continue to keep drawing.”
The passerby picked up one book and flipped through it.
“This is not a memory, but an emptiness.”
The man did not answer.
“When will you finish your work?”
“Never.”
“So you’ll become part of the drawings too, won’t you?”
When he woke up, he was overcome by a strange sense of urgency. He knew he had to create something, but he didn’t know what. He just couldn’t shake the feeling that the world from his dream existed somewhere.
One day, approaching sixty, he was sketching on a hill when two birds fell from above. No, they weren’t birds. They were stones carved into the shape of beautiful birds. They landed right in front of him, and one of the birds’ wings was broken. Looking up, all he could see was the vast blue sky.
