Kawaguchi Tatsuo
Time of Farm Tools. 2022
The old farm tools used by the local farmers for many years and left unattended in the shed show strong relations with their owners. The artist planted seeds of plants in these farm tools and sealed them with lead. The entire exhibition space was painted yellow and the hanging tools resemble the actual postures of local people when using them. Viewers can touch the tools on display as if they are in stop-motion.
