About the artwork

An installation using the library of the primary school. In the carpet on the library floor an oval portion was cut out. Onto the removed oval was painted the picture of a sculpture actually made by the artist. A video recording of the sculpture being gnawed by a dog, dragged by a car, and other processes of formulation was shown simultaneously with the exhibit. “I wanted the sculpture that would become the motif to fit the exhibit space as closely as possible before depicting it.” (Masaya Chiba)
