A sound and text installation and interventions made inside and outside of the childhood home of Eikoh Tanaka, an artist who founded and runs No-Mu residency in Kameoka, Japan. It was then reinstalled in Berlin at Treptower Atelier two months later in an exhibition connecting Kameoka with Berlin. As a kind of perfomative installation, the work makes use of a recording of a farmer's use of recycled materials, tin cans on sticks as a way of helping the growing of plants. The recording can be heard here: https://soundcloud.com/christine-cheung-499885620/cans2 I was attracted to these objects but was not sure what they were for. I asked the farmer and he said the vibrations created by the wind rattling the cans on the sticks deter moles from destroying the plants. The accompanying text, "A Strong Wind" follows a woman as she takes a walk in the nearby farm and river. The piece invites the viewer to channel one's personal history and makes reference to the subconscious collective memories and histories in both Germany and Japan. Treptow Atelier is a studio space which will be demolished later in 2019. The space originally was used for airplane manufacturing and is currently surrounded by senior homes. Materials from Germany and Japan were used, including photographs, green tea, a jacket from Germany given to me by a friend who is from Japan. The piece can be seen to referencing subconscious collective memories and histories in both Germany and Japan.
