それらのあいだにも。
ことの始まりは何色なのだろう。
白色ではなく、そこから少し黄色がかった色へ。
あるいは乳白色へと、紙のもつ柔らかな優しさから始まる。
その様相が語りかけている。
語りかけた対象は空間のなかで息をしている。
In Between
What colour is the beginning of things?
Not white, but something moving toward a slightly yellowish hue.
Or perhaps it begins with the gentle kindness of paper,
shifting toward milky white.
Not white, but something moving toward a slightly yellowish hue.
Or perhaps it begins with the gentle kindness of paper,
shifting toward milky white.
This quality speaks to me.
What has spoken now breathes in space.

真っ白な紙は、脳みそのメタファ。
ことばや記憶が型として繰り返し重なりきざまれ皺の凹凸になる。
分解するウレタンは、脳の皺がツルツルになっていくことのメタファ。
水に浮かんでいる脳みその細胞が死んでいき、最後には跡型も消える。
A pure white paper is a metaphor for the brain.
Words and memories repeatedly overlap like layers of sediment,
forming irregular wrinkles.
As the urethane breaks down,
it becomes a metaphor for the wrinkles in the brain being smoothed.
Brain cells floating in the water die,
and in the end, the traces of writing disappear.
