Rotating Absence: The Echigo-Tsumari Version was permanently installed at Matsudai NOHBUTAI in Tokamachi, Niigata.

About the work
“Each bicycle has its own story—where it was bought, how it was used, where it traveled. Whenever I received a bicycle that was no longer being ridden, I heard many such stories. By gathering and intervening in fragments of those former owners’ memories, I wondered whether I could breathe new life into ownerless bicycles whose time and history had come to a stop.”
