Something that is constantly changing. I looked up for a moment and thought.
T+review
The sky is reflected. There is an irreplaceable photograph there that only the exhibitor can understand, one that is connected to the exhibitor's everyday life.
Am I the only one who saw the photos with the dates and felt something similar to the works of Hinata On, who used the dates themselves as artworks? The older you get, the shorter 24 hours become. If you're not conscious of it, time passes in the blink of an eye. What happened on this day? What sort of things happened? Who did you meet? What sort of conversations did you have? What were the exhibitors thinking as they looked up at the sky with their cameras in hand? What sort of everyday life, ours, the exhibitors', existed beyond this sky?
However, it is unfortunate that the photographs taken by the exhibitor are so close in date. I would have liked to see photographs of the sky taken from a long-term perspective. This may also be because the photographs and exhibits of the sky all look similar. As far as the purpose of the exhibition is concerned, photographing the sky from the same period, when there is little change, may have conveyed the intention better, but I would like the viewer to consider the fact that it is an "exhibition."
However, even as I looked at the date, I couldn't remember that day. Am I the only one who feels nostalgic for my childhood at times like this?
