Workshop Report (High School Student Course)

We held a workshop for high school students in the hope that the fading images of people and objects would help them to understand the work of sculptor Hosokawa Munehide, who explores forms that exist beyond time and history and that are carved away inward.

The lecturer was Toshiyuki Shibakawa, an artist who continues to create works on the theme of "Modern society excavated 2000 years from now." What would something familiar to us look like if it were excavated in the 2000st century, 41 years from now? Using canvas as the soil of 2000 years from now and a roller as a shovel of the future, Matsumoto city was excavated.
