In the Two-dimensional Field of Retrospective Future
Video projection (2'24" loop), cotton paper, fir, Fresnel
   
Four images taken from a publication on the learning of navigation by compass and maps from 1953 were slightly modified and rendered into a photographic video. The original non-perspectival dotted lines superimposed onto the photographs, animated in the video, and further examined in the sculpture, are almost a stark metaphor for our acknowledgement of the tie between human and land, including the artistic interest in landscape. With a light touch of sci-fi, especially the sense of 'past tense futuristic,' a frustration or helplessness or calm towards the understanding of our bond with land and the relentless elapse of time seems naturally acceptable.
