Moments and Memories from Collected Elements

Natsumi Sugiyama

The work is an installation with a site-specific book.

The room is the prison’s former library.

The illustrated pages are based on collected elements from within

the former prison, which is currently empty.

The elements are marks, stains, rubbish, and some other small things that

subtly tell us about the days and emotions of the people who have been

there. I tried to read meanings of these elements and found simple words

to reinforce what I imagined them to be. I intended for visitors to seek

out the elements that I collected after they finished reading the book,

and to effectively experience far more than is visible in the present space.
