In the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tale Hansel and Gretel, the siblings who are led deep into the forest leave behind pieces of bread as markers to find their way back home. The term “breadcrumb trail” used on websites today to indicate one’s current location originates from this tale, yet in the story, the crumbs are eaten by birds and vanish without a trace. I find myself drawn to this uncertain and fragile way of leaving behind a path. It is not only because of its ambiguity, but perhaps precisely because of that ambiguity, that it conveys a strong sense of urgency.
Although the kind of urgency I feel is quite different (it is not a matter of life and death), my expression also stems from a desire to remember the events of this world. In this exhibition, alongside works that continue my ongoing theme of attempting to preserve fleeting and uncertain sights, sounds, and tactile sensations, I will also present a video piece that documents an experiment from a collaborative project with artist Takayuki Mitsushima, centered on the theme of “exchange of senses,” in which I asked him to drive my car.
