"FOSSIL OF THE EARTH"

3'00" Movie: Nakajima Hiroyuki

I roll out a large piece of canvas on the floor and step on it barefoot with a glass of ink in my hand. When I draw arcs in the air with my hand, the ink in the glass splashes onto the canvas. Then, forms and lines beyond my expectation appear there.
After I put my glass down, the ink takes on a life of its own, it runs and puddles on the face of the canvas. All I can do is just wait for several nights. When the pooled ink finishes drying, it finally leaves a distinctive pattern on the canvas. It looks as if a fossil of the earth has emerged in front of my eyes. It is the moment when Mother Earth appears to send us a message from beyond thousands of years.
