Another Water :
What comes around

27 JUL. 1997
Art Exhibition “Modern de HIRANO”
Old Hirano Area, Hirano-Ku, Osaka

10 pillars of freezed polluted groundwater (total 1.5ton), etc.



According to the rapid urbanization, underground water has been polluted, and the well has lost its fonction.
In order to make visible the invisible situation in the underground of the city of Hirano, I pumped up the polluted water of 1500kg from a well in an old house, and freezed it.
Ten ice pillars was installed one by one beside the old guidepost on the street.
One day after, they dissolved down and went back into the underground, leaving the contaminants on the ground.
