“Rotating Absence” is a sculpture created by combining 15 bicycles. It is exhibited at the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale 2022. Visitors to the festival can actually ride the bicycles and rotates the pedal, and by pedaling the bicycle in the front, the work, which consists of six bicycles, rotates greatly.

To create this work, I collected unused bicycles in Tokamachi, Niigata Prefecture. I created this work while imagine that “time” and “memory” that had stopped since it was abandoned could be moved again.
