The Vestige -Labyrinth-
18.5~25.5~4cm(Set of five with a box)
Salt @2003


The stairs and labyrinth emerging in the space with overwhelming presence are all created with salt. The salt objects were dug from salt that existed in limited time and space, like fossils. Yamamoto says that he does not create the shape but he "takes out" the shape as he feels that day.@"When I started using salt as my material, salt attracted me as it was used in funerals in Japan and it had that slight transparency in its whiteness. However, the salt which is a part of this work used to support our lives. This idea made me feel that salt embraces 'the memory of life' within. "iMotoi Yamamoto's web site: http://www.motoi.bizj
