Listen to her spinning wheel
film/animation 5min/4min 2014 video installation at degree show at Chelsea College of Art and Design |
かつて祖母が話してくれた、天井裏で蚕を飼育していた頃の話をもとに着想した二点の映像インスタレーション作品。中国の蚕の神話、女性労働としてのシルク産業の歴史に着目し、ランダムに断片的な資料を繋ぎ合わせたフィクションの物語を創作した。アニメーションでは、ある少女が失われた祖母の記憶を整理している途中、森に迷い込む。やがて馬の頭を持った女と出会い、その"馬女" は蚕からシルクを作りはじめる・・というストーリーで始まる。舞台装置のような空間が演出されたインスタレーションではアニメーション撮影に使われた小道具や舞台が一部設置され、観客が物語の中に内包されるような空間を制作した。
This installation work consists of two films and objects. The space was created based on the story about my grandmother's memory when she raised silkworms at her husband's parents home. The story was combined with the Chinese mythology of the god of the silkworm and the Horse-Head girl, who danced and sang a song called Spinning Wheel - which leads the story in a more fictional direction. In the other film within the space, the clay animation was displayed on a monitor, showing a story of a old woman and her granddaughter who is helping her grandma to organize her old photographs into chronological order. The story follows her dream, and she saw the Horse-Head girl as well as discovering the history of working women in the silk industry in her dream. In the installation space, part of the animation model was reproduced in life-sized scale. That structure made audience inclusive of the story as well as the space of the film space. |
