三梨 伸《兵どもが見る夢》Nobuo Mitsunashi “The Dreams of Brave Men”

長い間、地域の人たちの学び場であり続けた旧五反田学校の木造校舎を舞台に、欅、橡、楢、マホガニーなどの古びた木材の塊を、削り出し磨き上げ、多種多様な輝きを持つウッドブロックとして積み上げた造形物と、自身の過去のセラミック作品を対峙させた重層的なインスタレーション。病に侵され刻一刻と命のリミットが迫る中、身体が思うように動かなくなる苦痛と闘いながら、ギリギリまで創作に情熱を注いだ、三梨伸の遺作。美の創造と崩壊。侘び寂び。時間を越えてそこに在る古代遺跡への三梨流オマージュ。 制作協力：BC工房 Set in the wooden building of the former Gotanda School, which had long served as a place of learning for the local community, this multi-layered installation features sculptures made from lumps of aged wood such as zelkova, horse chestnut, nara, and mahogany. These have been carved, polished, and stacked into wood blocks of varied luster, and are shown alongside Mitsunashi’s earlier ceramic works. As his time grew short with each passing moment due to illness, Mitsunashi poured his passion into creating to the very limit, while struggling with the pain that prevented his body from moving as he wished. The creation and destruction of beauty. Wabi-sabi. A Mitsunashi-style homage to the ancient ruins that remain, transcending time. Support: bc-kobo 展示場所：旧五反田学校 Former Gotanda School
