"42 million Times"

A touchable fantasy that is connected by continuous land with the real world. This artwork is interactive art to be experienced alone.

"This is the path of your life so far. Each step is its own trajectory.

Even as you look back on your steps, continue forward - do not turn back."
 

After reading this letter, enter a space of darkness and silence where there is a single path of magical gravel - luminescent pellets developed by nana endo. Then, putting on the magical shoes developed by nana endo also, you walk on the gravel thinking about your life, and then your own footprints begin to glow brightly.

This art work which shows the “trajectory of life” through light and blurs the boundary between reality and fantasy by making appear as a tangible material the things that we humans cannot see but feel “exist”.  Furthermore, this experience of quietly facing "one's own life" alone is a deep questioning of oneself. It is also an attempt to shake, excavate, and transform our perceptions, notions, and emotions through this active experience involving physical sensation.

The light that glows most strongly at the moment of stepping on it and disappears completely in about half a day to 24 hours. After it disappears, It cannot be reproduced exactly the same way.

In the darkness, the only guideposts are the faintly glowing footprints of those who have walked here before.

People's footprints overlap, melt into each other and dissolve separation.

And one's own footprints also illuminate someone who comes next.
