' A ' of ' a-un '
yarn on woodywall of Matsushima Liquor, 2010
Have you visited Japanese shrine? If your ansewr is yes, I guess you have seen the pair of spluctures of liondogs or masclemen on the both sides of the gate or the entrance. One of a pair whose mouth is open is called the form of " A ", and closed is called the form of " UN ". " A " means the begining of the universe, and " UN " means the end, orignally . Then the word " AUN " has more familir meaning, is used to express the good combination. I drew a person talking to someone. And one more listening to somebody. Naturally each tittle was desided. My ' A ' of ' a-un ' was made in just time for the bigining of the first Setouchi Triennale. And it's located on an alley entrance. And when you walk 55m (180ft.) ahaed, ' Un ' of ' a-un ' appears on the closs-point with another alley. How will you feel the chatting between ' A ' of ' a-un ' and ' Un ' of ' a-un ' ? I'm looking forward to it.
