どこにでも偏在する「線」は、結果や解決としての「形」ではなく、発見やプロセス、生成や成長としての「形成」とその過程である。「線」を観察・探究することによって、人間が作り出す「モノ」「コト」の盛り立ちを、可規化しようという試みを、三谷産業株式会社と協働で行った。同社が持つ6つのセグメントから化学分野をリサーチして、素材、加工物、廃案物と呼ばれるモノと、人々がどのような「関係性」にあるのかを線で結び、日常で目にする製品化された結果に至るまでの過程を観察。「モノ」と「モノ」の間を緩やかに繋いでいく、人の関わりが「線」の流れとして際立ち、関係性を写し取った全体構造を可視化したモデルを展示した。
The installation is based on the idea that ‘lines’ are not ‘forms’ as a result or solution, but rather ‘shapes’ as a discovery, process, creation or growth, and that the process of this is a ‘line.’ By observing and exploring these ‘lines,’ the research project attempts to visualise the origins of the ‘things’ and ‘events’ created by humans. Artist Ryosuke Harashima researched the chemical field from among the six segments of MITANI SANGYO Co., Ltd., and studied the ‘relationship’ between people and things called materials, processed goods, and waste. Harashima observed the processes that lead to the commercialisation of the products we see in everyday life, and the human relationships that gently connect one ‘thing’ to another became clearly visible as a flow of ‘lines.’ This time, he has visualised the overall structure by capturing these relationships, and is exhibiting the resulting models.
