Loki Twilight

This work is a new installation reworking of "Loki Twilight," which was exhibited in the "Roppongi Crossing 2019 Exhibition: Connecting."
The subject of this work is the story of "wall building" in Norse mythology, in which Loki's absurd behavior causes a decisive rift between the giants and the gods.

I covered a room in my residence with oil clay, and created this work while experiencing the juxtaposition of reality and unreality on a daily basis.
The space covered with clay was like the inside of a giant's body, moist even in the daytime and covered with darkness.

The five screens placed in the space were each in the shape of a "giant's face," "god's hand," "bottle," "wolf," and "moon," important icons that evoke the stories of Norse mythology.
